A short conversational transcript (YouTube video) where two speakers discuss what leadership means and one speaker’s self-doubt about their leadership abilities. The exchange contrasts a narrow view of leadership (caretaking/babysitting) with a simpler behavioral definition—someone others are willing to follow—and offers practical reassurance about leaning on team members.
I feel like I'm a terrible leader.
What's the definition of a leader to you?
Now, the way I'm describing my head is almost a babysitter, but somebody you could call on somebody that a leader.
Is simply someone who others are willing to follow. If you walk. If I walk out that door and you follow me, I'm the leader. If people are willing to follow you, you are the leader. I think you do a phenomenal job at that. And I can be. I can tell that because you attract people that are outsized in their skill and care for the business. And that comes in the form of currently the two people I've met and your operations and your admin. And you should lean on them 100%, let them do their job.
I write down every morning in that journal like, be a better week.
