What makes a leader truly strong?
Spoiler alert: it's not being the loudest person in the room.
Nor is it asserting oneself at any cost.
Leadership strength is demonstrated through transparency, honesty, and the ability to empower people.
A strong leader...
remains calm in chaos.
makes decisions even when faced with uncertainty.
stands up for his values – even when it's uncomfortable.
leads himself – before leading others.
and above all: he actively empowers his team
My advice to you: If you really want to lead others strongly, ask yourself regularly: “What am I afraid of – and how much does that influence my behavior as CEO?”Because strength begins with self-reflection – not control.
