Hi there, friends! And thanks for tuning into this week's episode of the She Doesn't Settle podcast. This week, I'd like to talk to you about leadership. And no, this won't be your typical 'how to become a leader' type of episode. Today, we're actually scratching beneath the surface and diving deep into the concept of leadership. We're going to touch upon some common beliefs that hold people back from being leaders, the concept of leading from anywhere you are, and how to demonstrate your leadership skills even if you don't have the C-suite title.

The first thing you should know about leadership is that you don't need to have any title whatsoever to be a leader. Leadership is not about titles or positions; it's about influencing and empowering others. That means you can lead from any level. As a matter of fact, you can have so much more impact from the middle of an organization than from the top. Don't believe me? Then, you're going to want to hear the rest of this episode! Make sure you join me today to learn about John Maxwell's three principles of the 360 Degree Leader, five ways to show up as a leader, and the concept of leading from any position.

The Finer Details of This Episode:

• Beliefs that hold you back

Quotes:

"Just because you don't have a title, that doesn't mean you're not a leader."

"When you believe you can improve the organization from anywhere you're at, you're going to do what it takes to help the company, your team, yourself, accomplish your goals; that's what's most important. And that's what contributes to being a good leader."

"When people see that you're a leader who wants them to grow and reach their goals, you have major cheerleaders there."

"We all know that many people try to shift blame and make excuses. Those are not great leaders. Great leaders take ownership of problems, and they work to find the lessons and the solutions."

"Leadership calls for being able to get the job done in an effective and efficient way."

"You don't have to have the C-suite level title to make an impact, to lead. And sometimes leading from the middle feels a hell of a lot better than being at the top."
