Leaders don't leave roles for higher titles.

They leave because no one acknowledged:

"Your leadership style matters."

I've coached brilliant professionals who walked away.
Not for prestige…
but for permission to lead authentically.

The truth?
It's not lack of skill that holds people back.
It's being forced to fit a predetermined mold.

When leaders feel validated in their natural leadership style…
they don't just participate.
They innovate.

Here's what happens when organizations embrace diverse leadership styles 👇

1/ Innovation flourishes
▻ Diverse perspectives spark creativity.
▻ Conformity kills it.

2/ Retention soars
▻ People don't quit companies.
▻ They quit cultures that demand they "fit in."

3/ Teams thrive
▻ Authentic leadership builds psychological safety.
▻ Safety enables bold decisions.

4/ Engagement deepens
▻ One "your approach works" doesn't just validate. It multiplies impact.

5/ Culture evolves
▻ One leader models authenticity... everyone finds their voice.

6/ Inclusivity spreads
▻ Different styles bring different strengths.

7/ Collaboration strengthens
▻ That's how teams become unstoppable.

8/ Leadership pipeline grows
▻ When people see authentic leaders succeed, they stop doubting themselves.
▻ They start claiming their power.

People need 6X the positive reinforcement than negative.

My teacher taught me to keep 6 coins in my pocket and move one to the other pocket every time I gave someone a compliment.

I had to work to find that many encouragements at first.
But then it started to come naturally.

Try it out...
It costs nothing
but transforms everything.

You don’t want to be the leader that lost the star player for no good reason.
