15 Painful Truths Every Leader Must Know: 1) Sometimes you have to make decisions that are best for the organization but unpopular with the team. 2) You can’t preach focus while having a calendar that blocks every pixel of daylight. 3) Regardless of how hard you work and how great your ideas are, things will never be perfect. 4) Don’t try to be the best at everything. Hire those who are better than you in specific areas and delegate. 5) Leadership is lonely; tough decisions are often made alone. 6) You will always have haters. That means you’ve stood up for something. 7) A leader is the last person in the company. You need to serve the team, not command it. 8) If you’re in a leadership position just for the money, you’re not a leader; you’re a manager. 9) You will fail, and not just once. Failure is not the end; it’s a step toward growth. 10) You are always changing the lives of your employees. For better or worse, that’s up to you. 11) If you don’t care about your employees, they won’t care about your business. 12) Your success depends more on your soft skills and EQ than your hard skills and IQ. 13) The longer you ignore a toxic company culture, the faster it will bring down your business. 14) A leader should listen more and ask questions rather than talk and give orders. 15) Strong micromanagers make poor visionaries. Choose who you want to be. The more managers embrace these truths, the more great leaders we will have. ♻️ Share this sheet with your network if you found it useful. 📌 For more valuable content, follow me Victoria Repa.
