I don’t believe in certain personality types being a sole indicator of effective leadership.

I’ve sat with someone who had recently been given feedback that their introverted style would prevent them from being an effective leader.

I could not disagree more.

Clarity matters more than charisma.

Our teams do not need us to be a big personality.

They need strategic clarity, resources to execute, and intentional support.

Doing that effectively doesn’t require you to be someone you’re not—that’s when you end up with performative leaders.
