Lead from the truth

If you are able to please everybody, then you are lying to yourself or somebody else. The most foundational aspect of leadership is telling the truth, which means someone will inevitably be displeased.

Truth creates clarity. It builds trust and creates change. When we tell the truth, we give others permission to do the same, and that’s where authentic power lives. Yes, truth might disappoint some people or create friction, yet it more importantly attracts the correct people and repels the incorrect ones.

You can’t lead and make everyone happy. Choose truth, and watch how it frees you and everyone around you.
