You don’t need a promotion to lead

Leadership isn’t a job title. It’s a set of small actions repeated over time that earn you trust and influence.

Here are 3 simple habits you can try this week:

🙉 Listen first, speak second – In your next meeting, let others finish before you jump in. People remember who truly hears them.

🙈 Make one person’s day easier – Offer help, share a resource, or unblock a teammate. Leadership is about lifting others up.

🙊 Ask better questions – Instead of rushing to give answers, ask “What do you think would work best?” and watch ideas flow.

Big leaders are built from small, intentional moments like these.
