10 Things Leadership is Not

Leadership is not taking all the credit: it’s about not caring who gets the credit and giving credit where credit is due.
Leadership is not quiet: it’s about speaking up at the right time, in the right place, with the right force.
Leadership is not loud: it’s about knowing that silence & listening fuels your leading.
Leadership is not about power: it’s about tearing what power you have into little pieces and distributing it in the form of teams.
Leadership is not about dominating: it’s about donating opportunities for someone else to develop, grow, and lead.
Leadership is not about seniority: it’s about who will do it the best, not who should get the opportunity to do it first.
Leadership is not about a title: it’s about contributing and leading no matter where you fall on the hierarchy chart.
Leadership is not telling people what to do: it’s working alongside people and considering their perspective before going forward.
Leadership is not blaming: it’s about ownership.
Leadership is not for you if you don’t love people.
