A leadership lesson that I’ve learnt continually over the past 20 years…

My team is a reflection of my leadership.

If I'm seeing:

XConstant conflict

XA disengaged team

XA lack of accountability

The first step isn’t fixingthem—it’s understandingme.

I’ve worked with so many leadership teams who are frustrated with their people. 

They want their teams to be more:

✔️ Accountable

✔️ Collaborative

✔️ Proactive

But here’s the reality:Teams take their cues from their leaders.

If you, your peers and your broader leadership team aren't aligned—how can your teams be?

If leaders don’t communicate clearly—how can your teams follow direction?

If leaders avoid difficult conversations—how can you expect your teams to step up?

I don't share this because I know better, I share this becauseI had to learn it myself -and it was an unnecessarily challenging process. I used to think leadership was aboutdriving results at all costs.

Now, I know that leadership is aboutshowing up in a way that inspires results, not demands them. The measure of your effectiveness as a leader can be seen everyday in your people...how they engage, respond to challenges, nurture relationships.

The best part? When you shift how you lead—everything else follows.
