Are you falling into these leadership traps?


Hi there,

How leaders shape their team’s growth can make or break its success. We all know how bad leadership ruins teams and culture. But what about good leaders? What is the biggest mistake they make that limits team growth?.

🔝Leadership and Limiting Team Growth

Are You Accidentally Stifling Your Team's Growth?

"Your role as a leader isn’t to be the sole problem-solver or decision-maker. It’s to create an environment where your team feels empowered to rely on one another and work together to move forward"

It’s about what surrounds it — the background, the tools, the setup. And it matters way beyond AI. It might just be the missing piece for building better teams,...

Hi Reader When I sit in a bomb shelter, waiting for sirens to end, I have a lot of time to think. Some thoughts are practical. Some are dark. And some, like the one I want to share today, keep looping back, quietly teaching me something I didn't expect. And the thought that keeps coming back to me is about the power of letting go. The false sense of control Most of us (myself included) walk around convinced we're in control of everything — our business, our careers, our kids, our routines. We...

Hi Reader I just crossed a major finish line — my book is finally done and entering its last stage before publication. And to be honest, it feels really good. And there’s a science behind that.
