Is your team truly seeing you as a leader?
In the past, leadership was about pushing the business forward, often without regard for the people behind the progress.
Being forceful, assertive, and even ruthless were seen as traits of a strong leader.
But times have changed.
We now know that for a business to truly thrive, it’s not enough to drive goals—it’s about building real relationships with your team.
Without your team's buy-in, you might wonder, "Am I being seen as the leader I want to be?"
This fear is more common than you think.
The truth is that leadership is no longer just about getting results at all costs.
Today’s most effective leaders aren’t those who force compliance but those who inspire commitment.
But what does that kind of leadership look like?
It starts with self-awareness.
Before you can inspire others, you have to know what inspires you.
It’s about seeing the potential in your team and leading in a way that brings out the best in them.
It’s not about being perfect.
It’s about being aware—of yourself, your strengths, your growth areas, and how you show up for others.
Inspirational leadership is the path to being seen as the leader you truly want to be.
Not because you push for results but because you inspire others to grow and succeed alongside you.
