The Weight of Leadership: Are You Carrying or Controlling?

Are You Lifting Others or Holding on Too Tight?
Leadership comes with a responsibility—a weight that, when carried with intention, can uplift and empower. But too often, leaders mistake control for leadership, holding on so tightly that they stifle the very growth they seek to nurture.
Are you carrying the weight of leadership in a way that supports others, or are you unknowingly restricting their ability to rise?
Great leaders don’t micromanage; they mentor. They don’t hoard power; they distribute it. They don’t fear change; they embrace it as an opportunity for transformation.
Are you leading with trust, or are you leading with control?
Do you create space for your team to take ownership and innovate?
How can you shift from "holding on" to "lifting up"?
This week, challenge yourself to loosen your grip. Delegate with trust. Mentor with patience. Guide with wisdom.
True leadership isn’t about how much you can do alone—it’s about how much you can empower others to do.
How are you lifting those around you? Drop a comment and share your perspective.
