Course overview
Lesson Overview
1.158 – How to Be a Leader, Not a Follower: Being a leader doesn’t mean bossing people around—it means guiding by example. A leader thinks for themselves and makes choices that reflect their values. When others feel unsure, a leader’s confidence helps them find courage. You don’t have to be loud to lead; quiet strength is often the most respected kind. Standing firm in your beliefs shows people it’s okay to do the same. Sometimes leadership means walking away first so others see it’s possible. Every time you choose right over easy, you lead. The best leaders stay humble but unshaken. You’ll notice that when you lead with kindness and confidence, real friends follow for the right reasons. Leadership starts with choosing your own direction before anyone else tells you where to go.
