💭 Be strong, be vulnerable. Speak up, listen more. Take risks, play it safe.
Leadership advice is often contradictory – and here’s why:
➡️ It’s usually someone else’s truth.
When you follow the latest advice without first understanding what you’re genuinely great at, it wastes time, energy – and often, results.
✅ Here’s what works: Develop your leadership style around your natural strengths. The best leaders know that lasting impact comes from refining what already works – not forcing what doesn’t.
🧠 When you understand what you do best – and how you work most effectively – decisions come faster. You communicate with more precision. And your impact becomes far more consistent.
🎯 Try this today:
🔹 Take a piece of leadership advice that hasn’t quite landed. Instead of forcing it, rework it to align with a strength that comes naturally to you.
For example: If the advice is “speak up more” and you’re naturally a thoughtful listener, try “ask one powerful question in the next meeting.”
🔹 Notice what happens when you lead in a way that reflects your strengths, not someone else’s script.
👉🏼 Real leadership isn’t about collecting advice. It’s about translating it into your own playbook.
