Liz Wiseman talks about the difference between leaders who multiply people and those who diminish them. It is not always obvious which one you are. It shows up in how people respond when you leave the room. Do they step up or shrink back? That is usually your answer.

Uncertainty is part of every leadership role. People look to you to see how to respond to it. You do not have to have every answer. You do need to stay steady.

Self-awareness changes how you lead. When you understand your tendencies, you can lead with more intention. You recognize where you need support. You stop reacting and start responding.
