The Path to a True Leadership Career

Contrary to popular belief, power is not seized, but granted. True leaders inspire and empower others, fostering a strong following built on trust and admiration. This fundamental truth distinguishes leaders from managers. While managers often focus on pushing people, leaders elevate them.

Great leaders leave an enduring impact. They are remembered for their ability to inspire and motivate, rather than their authority. To embark on a truly fulfilling leadership journey, focus on becoming an inspiring figure who empowers others to succeed.

Transcript:

Power is given and not taken. If we look into the world, we often think that the person in power has taken the power. That's completely wrong, because the person that is in power, is put in power by the people that are following them. People decide whom they want to follow because they believe in this person.

And that's true leadership. True leaders have a huge career. Managers are pushing other people and have a mediocre career. Some of them make it to the top and then they fail. And the great leaders are the people that you and I remember forever. Be a great leader.
