Kobe Bryant said, “If you’re going to be a leader, you’re not going to please everybody. You gotta hold people accountable even if you have that moment of being uncomfortable.”
Great leaders don't try to please everyone.
Great leaders know that it isn't their title or position, it is about their behavior.
Leadership means doing more.
Great leaders connect and influence.
Leadership is about your actions - how you set an example, how you interact with others, and how you create a standard for performance.
