Leadership isn’t about being the smartest person in the room.
It’s about building a room full of people who don’t need you to make every decision.
Great leaders hire great people.
They provide clarity.
They create trust.
They develop ownership.
Then they step back and allow people to do what they were hired to do.
If your team can’t function without you, you’ve built dependency.
If your team can thrive without you, you’ve built leadership.
The true measure of a leader isn’t how many people follow them.
It’s how many people can lead because of them.
