Great leaders understand the importance of empowering their teams to produce outstanding results because micromanaging your team is counterproductive and goes against the logic of hiring the best people in the first place. When you have a great group of passionate, inspired, and motivated people eager to make a difference, give them the freedom to work and create an environment that allows them to become the very best version of themselves. When leaders recognize that they don't have to be the smartest person in the room, these companies consistently achieve innovative or heroic business feats because so many of the people who work there are given the freedom to make it happen.

It takes great leadership to build a great team, and great companies operate best and with the most longevity when employees work with a team mentality. The ability to master the “art of people” and knowing how to maneuver hundreds (if not thousands) of people at the right place and at the right time is one of the highest pinnacles of leadership success. Each team member brings something unique to the table, so it’s essential to treat each role as a critical arm of your business. Each team member should feel like their job matters without ever asking themselves, “Why am I even here?” As a leader, bring out that greatness in your team by challenging their assumptions of what they can accomplish. You are privileged to be in a position where you can direct, shape, and focus someone’s potential on a specific result. When you are given the responsibility to lead, you are given a fantastic opportunity to influence many people’s lives positively, a responsibility you should never take for granted.

Do you know anyone in your organization who relies solely on their title to get things done? When Amy Modglin first stepped into a leadership role, she genuinely believed that leadership revolved around herself. Like many individuals in leadership positions, Amy assumed that everyone would automatically follow and respect her because of her title. As Amy puts it, “I never thought that being a leader required effort on my part. I thought I was already there." Fortunately, Amy had a few exceptional leaders who looked out for her and addressed her self-centered mindset. Everyone has the potential to be a leader, but only some are willing to put in the necessary effort to become a great leader. It’s simple to give orders, boss people around, leverage your authority and intimidate others with the threat of termination for underperformance. However, truly leading means dedicating yourself to coaching, mentoring, motivating, and inspiring individuals to deliver their best work. Leadership is not about rank, power, or your place on the org chart. It’s about inspiring people to believe in themselves, their gifts, their potential, and something much greater than their own self-preservation.

Your worth is not determined by someone else's perception but rather by your own unique qualities, experiences, and contributions. Remember that you are a valuable individual deserving of love, respect, and appreciation, regardless of what anyone else thinks or says. So, don't let anyone undermine your self-esteem or make you feel less worthy than you genuinely are. Hold your head high, be confident in yourself, and know that you have a lot to offer the world because no matter how much someone fails to see your true value, it does not decrease your inherent worth.

When you take the time to listen to someone, really take the time to listen; it shows you value the person. If you look bored or interrupt the person while speaking, you show that you don’t really care what the person has to say. Listening is a core aspect of leadership; many people in leadership positions don’t listen, they may be hearing, but they are not listening. To become an effective leader, you must sometimes close your mouth and truly listen to your team because it is the ultimate form of respect any leader can give everyone on their team.
