A Title Doesn’t Make You a Leader — Here’s What Does

June 03, 20251 min read

What if the best leader in your business isn’t the one with the job title?

This week on Great Boss Weekly, I’m sharing a story about one of the best leaders I’ve ever worked with—who started in the most junior role in the team.

He didn’t manage people. He didn’t call the shots. But his influence, character, and willingness to lift others made him a leader from day one.

It got me thinking:

how many people in practices are waiting to be told they’re a leader—when what they need is someone to show them that they already are?

In this episode, I unpack:

  • Why leadership has nothing to do with titles

  • The myths we need to ditch about what leadership is

  • What modern teams (and younger generations) are looking for in a leader

  • What it really means to influence, serve, and empower others

Watch now:

Let’s stop waiting for permission and start leading well—wherever we are.
