True Leadership Is About Empowerment, Not Control

In the kind of leadership I believe in—and teach—power isn’t something to hold onto.

It’s something to share.

The most emotionally intelligent leaders I know aren’t focused on creating followers.

They’re committed to growing more leaders.

As John C Maxwell writes in The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership he personally learned to change his leadership focus "from leading followers developing leaders."

That shift happens when we:

✅ Create space for others to step into their own authority

✅ Offer support, not micromanagement

✅ Encourage autonomy, creativity, and ownership

✅ Lead from trust, not fear

And the ripple effect is huge:

➡️ When people feel seen, empowered, and free to lead from their strengths, teams become more resilient.

➡️ Cultures become more human.

➡️ And leadership becomes something that’s shared—not just worn by the person at the top. How are you growing the leaders around you?
