Most people think leadership is about winning arguments.

That’s why so many teams get stuck in endless debates.

As a female founder, I’ve learned a different way:
1) I listen first—because most conflicts come from feeling unheard.
2) I focus on strengths—because the right person in the right role changes everything.
3) I stay calm—because reacting emotionally rarely moves things forward.

Leadership isn’t about being the loudest voice in the room.

It’s about creating space for the right voices to be heard.

Absolutely agree. Empowering others and fostering open communication leads to more innovative and effective teams. Leadership is truly about guiding and supporting, not dominating conversations. How do you ensure every team member feels valued?
