Great leadership isn’t always obvious. In fact, the most reliable signs of strong leaders are often the quiet ones we overlook.
In Episode 33 of 12MinuteLeadership, we unpack five leadership green flags you shouldn't ignore that predict trust, healthy teams, and sustainable results—long before someone gets a title.
In this episode, you’ll learn how to spot leaders who:
- Listen deeply and facilitate progress (not dominate the room)
- Lead with coachability and character—not ego
- Use emotional intelligence to handle conflict without creating fear
- Create safety and clarity in meetings and decisions
- Manage time and energy in ways that prevent burnout and scale impact
If you’re choosing your next team lead—or trying to grow into one yourself—these green flags offer a clearer, healthier roadmap than visibility or volume ever could.
Share it with a manager making promotion decisions, and reflect: Which green flag do you see most—and which one do you want to grow next?
