Take an Interest in People

I once had a boss who knew everything about my job but nothing about me. No small talk, no “How’s your day?”, no real connection. And honestly? It made me feel like just another name on a list. Then I worked with a leader who was different. She asked about my family. Remembered a few… Continue reading Take an Interest in People

Trust Me on This…

There was a time when I thought trust had to be earned the hard way slowly, cautiously, after proving yourself over and over. But then I worked with a leader who flipped that idea upside down.

The Leadership Struggle No One Talks About…

So, here’s the thing today’s lesson from Maxwell Daily 365 really got me thinking (and maybe eye-rolling a little). “When a leader can’t or won’t empower others, he creates barriers within the organization that followers cannot overcome.” Well, isn’t that the truth? I mean, how many times have we seen leaders who act like they’re… Continue reading The Leadership Struggle No One Talks About…

Leadership: Apparently, I Can’t Escape It…

What makes a good leader? Leadership. Ah, the one word that somehow keeps finding me in every phase of my life. It’s almost like leadership positions have a GPS tracker on me, and I can’t seem to escape. From being a group leader in secondary school (basically making sure no one messed up our group… Continue reading Leadership: Apparently, I Can’t Escape It…
