A Friday shoutout to… The leaders who lead from within. The ones who know leadership isn’t about standing above but standing alongside the team. They are: → the collaborators → the listeners → the mentors If you see leadership as a position of authority, you’ve got it wrong. It is a PARTNERSHIP! My advice? Break down the barriers, build trust and show your team you’re IN IT with them. Leaders who do this don’t just manage - they inspire. PS. Do you agree? ♻️ If you think this post could help someone in your network, hit repost. 👋🏼 Hey, I’m Laura- I share posts that empower busy people to build healthier, happier workplaces and teams.

Are you ready to join me in a community focusing on best practices and change? No more "blah, blah, blah" or "kumbaya" or just agreeing to blend in with the herd. Changemakers aren't always the bold, brash, loudspeakers in the room, they can be introverts, calmly influencing and yet still instrumental in shifts in thinking and business practice. Strategy Supercharged is for those allergic to "This is how we've always done things." It brings the most inquisitive minds from sales, marketing, customer success, and products into a safe space where being different matters. Check us out. Come be different.

Management is about working through and WITH people.

True intimacy requires us to challenge our biases, confront the assumptions we carry, and open ourselves to deeper, more authentic connections.

My book, *𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝*, explores this and more—guiding leaders on a journey to reconnect with themselves, realign with their purpose, and lead with presence and connection. If you’re ready to 𝐠𝐨 𝐛𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞-𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 and lean into authenticity, let’s have a conversation about how I can bring this message to your team, organization, or event. Because when we lead with intimacy and presence, we don’t just build relationships—𝐰𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦. 💡

Leadership — it's about mindset. ⭐ As a leader, you need to embody these four essential mindsets: 1/ Producers Creators of customer value, they harness analytics to drive innovation, staying ahead of shifting customer preferences. 2/ Investors They look beyond profits, championing organizational purpose. They nurture continuous development and prioritize community impact. 3/ Connectors They understand that relationships are the new currency. By mastering networks, they drive organizational effectiveness and foster a sense of belonging. 4/ Explorers Curious and creative, they thrive in ambiguity, embracing experimentation, and encourage risk-taking. These mindsets aren't just theoretical, they’re practical steps towards leading in the new economy. Want to grow into a leadership role that truly makes an impact? Start adopting these mindsets today. ______ ♻️ Repost to share these insights with your network. Follow Zohaib Butt for more leadership insights.

This week, we launched a private group on LinkedIn for Systems Conveners. If this is you or someone you know, we'd love to issue an invitation. Etienne and Beverly Wenger-Trayner have labeled Systems Convening an "emerging field of leadership for the 21st century." These leaders need places to be seen, connect, and offer/receive resources. The LinkedIn group is one of them. You can learn more about Systems Convening here: https://lnkd.in/gMSdXttM. 𝐀 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠!
