Yes, I made mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And if I'm honest, I did some of them more than once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not because I didn't care, but because no one teaches you how to lead people until you have to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are 5 that marked my path:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the best intentions, you arrive with ideas, with energy... and you want it all yesterday.
But teams aren't Excel spreadsheets or machinery. People need to understand, connect, and build with you.
Today I know that leading transformation is also about knowing when to push and when to listen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I thought being a leader was about having all the answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And yes, he had vision, but he didn't always hear what the team was already seeing from their trenches.
I listen more today. And when I do it well, I always make better decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I thought being \u201ccool\u201d would make me more approachable.
But I understood that leadership is also about setting clear boundaries, speaking up, and making difficult decisions.
There is no trust without structure. There is no respect without consequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I thought that if I wasn't there, it wouldn't turn out well.
Delegating isn't about letting loose like crazy, but neither is controlling every move.
Today I value the art of trusting methodically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There were times when I was empty, but I kept pushing.
Until I understood that leading is also about taking care of your energy, your clarity, and your stability.
A tired leader is a leader who makes bad decisions, even if he doesn't say so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
