The temptation is magnetic. Point fingers. Fix others—control outcomes. Yet here you sit, gripping tightly to what’s already slipping through your fingers.
Every leader faces that 3 AM truth – the one that whispers: “Maybe the chaos out there reflects the storm in here.”
What if leadership isn’t about being the strongest voice in the room, but the steadiest presence? Not the one with all the answers, but the one brave enough to sit with the questions?
“Leadership is not about being in charge. Leadership is about taking care of those in your charge.” – Simon Sinek
While others shout, you have a different option. Stand still. Look inward. The world doesn’t need another noise maker. It needs lighthouses.
Your team doesn’t follow your words. They follow your center of gravity. When you’re grounded, they find their footing. When you’re authentic, they find their voice.
Tomorrow, before you rush to fix what’s broken out there, pause. Check your reflection. The most powerful change often starts in the quietest moment.
Leadership isn’t a title. It’s a choice to be the eye of the storm.
