Leadership has a funny way of teaching us the same lesson over and over until we finally learn it.

Do you know what the secrets are? After three decades of developing my leadership skills, I've realised that the best leaders never stop growing.

Real influence doesn't come from titles or job descriptions; it comes through relationships, trust and consistency from leaders serving their people.

Do you know who is the hardest person to lead on your team? The hardest person to lead is the one looking back at me in the mirror every morning.

So, what trait matters most for leaders right now? Adaptability. In a world that keeps changing faster than we can predict, adaptability is what allows leaders to stay grounded while adjusting to shifting realities.

A post recently read "It's time to Lead with Courage", and I have been pondering what exactly that means when you have to lead in a continuously changing environment.

That was the day I began to understand what authentic leadership is about. Leadership is not about control or titles; it's about influence and relationships. It's not about being the smartest person in the room or having all the solutions. It's about service, trust, and creating an environment where others can thrive.

Well, what does being authentic mean? There are many definitions, but I found the Vocabulary.Com one to be really good, i.e. "Authenticity is the quality of being genuine or real".
