Knowing When to Step Back
I ran my own businesses for the better part of 25 years.
I learned many lessons along the way.
One of the most important was knowing when to step back.
For a long time, I believed leadership meant stepping forward.
Speaking first.
Taking control.
Over time, I learned that real leadership often looks very different.
Sometimes it means letting someone else take the lead.
And listening before responding.
The strongest person in the room is rarely the loudest.
