⛔ If your leadership stops at building a loyal team of followers, you’re not leading, you’re limiting.
Over the years, I’ve realised that true leadership is not about authority but about empowerment.⚡
Here’s how I’ve approached leadership intending to create more leaders👇
✔️ Delegate with trust, not control Giving your team ownership over key decisions empowers them to grow. It shows that you believe in their ability to lead, not just follow instructions.
✔️ Encourage innovation, not imitation A team that mimics you isn’t growing. Great leaders encourage their teams to challenge the status quo and think independently, fostering future leaders.
✔️ Celebrate leadership in others When someone on your team steps up, celebrate it. This reinforces that leadership isn’t exclusive to titles—anyone can lead from where they stand.
❗ Here’s the twist: Are you building leaders or followers in your organisation?❗
💡 Too often, leaders focus on maintaining control when growth comes from letting others step into leadership roles. Creating leaders creates a ripple effect that elevates the entire organisation.💡
SUMMARY👇
Leadership isn’t about building a loyal following. It’s about empowering others to lead and creating a culture of growth, innovation, and shared responsibility.
Great leaders do not create followers, they create more leaders. – Ali Aydan
