Leaders either truly seek control or performance. Weak leaders crave control. Strong leaders want performance. You’ll never get high performance with a high degree of control. Give up as much control as you can and you can get great performance.

When we are unwilling to attempt something new out of fear of feeling foolish, it is a strong sign that we have a fixed mindset. Interestingly, I find that 60%+ of leaders have a fixed mindset. Most leaders struggle to take on something new, to struggle as a beginner, reveal their ignorance, or attempt new skills. But, the best leaders are willing to do these things because they know that the more they struggle, reveal their ignorance, and attempt more skills, the stronger they become over time.

Average Leaders: You've never done this task alone. I'll do it with you. Bad Leaders: You've never done this task alone. Let me do it. Great Leaders: You've never done this task alone. You'll learn a lot. Give people a chance to learn or you'll never see them shine!

Your staff may never see your vision or have your drive... because they're not you. It's the King Lear scenario (expecting full understanding of your vision in others in your terms) However, once your staff are part of the process they can catch 'the heart'. This is the pulse of business. People at the key touch points giving real time feedback and making real time moves in the direction the business is taking. Too many passionate leaders are charging ahead and leaving everyone behind them and wonder why everyone else doesn't 'get' their passion or why people don't follow when there is a direction change. Leaders share the heart beat 💓

If you're a controlling person, you're not a leader. You might think leadership is about making every decision, holding the reins tight, and ensuring everything is done *your* way. But that’s not leadership.   That’s fear. Great leaders don’t control—they trust. - They give their team the freedom to make decisions.  - They empower people to own their work and thrive.  - They step back and let others take charge.  When you hold onto everything, you create followers.   When you let go, you create leaders. People don’t rise under control.  They rise when they’re trusted.  They rise when they feel valued. Your job as a leader isn’t to have all the answers.   It’s to trust your team enough to find them. 👉 Let go and watch your people soar.

Bad leaders are fast to judge and slow to listen. Good leaders are slow to judge and fast to listen. Lead with your ears, not your mouth, kill your ego because its kills more careers than any recession. Best leaders always listen and decide without ego and pride, their humbleness make them great leaders.

Fear has no place in management and leadership.... When leaders use fear to motivate, it's a clear sign they're not equipped to lead. Fear corrodes trust, stifles creativity and cripples productivity. It's a toxic approach that can devastate employees' mental health and lead to high turnover. Exceptional leaders inspire and empower their teams. They foster a culture of trust, respect and open communication, driving innovation and growth. They prioritize their teams' well-being, happiness and success and the results are remarkable. It's not about using fear to drive results, it's about creating an environment that inspires people to thrive. Leaders who get this right are the ones who truly succeed 😊
