Episode notes
Self-Leadership Before Title
- Leadership begins with self-leadership and is a discipline, not a title or destination.
- Leading yourself well creates the foundation to serve, take responsibility, and improve over time.
Lead With Purpose Not Ego
- Prioritize intent and why you're in a leadership role before learning tactics.
- Choose leadership to serve and develop others, not to prop up your ego or status.
Stop Hiding Behind 'Imposter Syndrome'
- Stop labeling growth struggles as "imposter syndrome" and act on the faith others have in you.
- Admit where you are, be honest, and improve through practice instead of hiding or excusing.
