💡 Leadership in IT: It Starts With You
Leadership isn’t about titles or control — it’s about authenticity, growth, empathy, and self-awareness.
👤 Authenticity
People spot fake. They notice when you say one thing and do another.
If you call your team a “family” but threaten disciplinary action the next day, you lose trust instantly.
Be real, be consistent — your words and actions must align.
🌱 Growth
Leadership means helping others grow, not cloning yourself.
If a junior delivers good work that’s not exactly how you’d do it, praise them. Then guide them.
Confidence builds competence — not constant correction.
🤝 Empathy & Flexibility
No two people are the same. Great leaders see individuals, not headcount.
Your job is to mix strengths and balance weaknesses.
A team of only “rockstars” or only juniors fails — just like you can’t build a house with only hammers.
🧭 Self-Leadership
You can’t lead others if you can’t lead yourself.
Know your triggers, manage your emotions, own your weaknesses.
If you don’t, your team will pay the price for what you haven’t yet learned to control.
In the end, leadership is not about power — it’s about trust, growth, and balance.
