LeadDontCtrl is officially on YouTube. I’m posting rebellious leadership shorts that cut through the corporate fluff, with long-form videos coming soon. If you’re done with boring leadership takes, this is your new home. Subscribe and join the rebellion.
Your quiet engineer just shipped a system-saving patch while the loud guy monologued through standup. Volume isn’t value. Learn to recognize and reward the real MVPs, especially the ones not shouting for attention.
If you're calling a meeting every time you need to make a decision, you're not leading, you're crowd-sourcing accountability. Leadership takes guts, not group votes. Stop hosting game night and start making the call.
You can give everything to your job, and it still won’t love you back. But your team might. Your people might. Invest in them. That’s where the real legacy is.
The best leaders don’t make themselves irreplaceable. They build systems, people, and cultures that run strong even when they’re not in the room. Your job isn’t to be the hero; it’s to make sure the team doesn’t need one.
