A weak leader presents the team’s success as a personal victory and quickly finds someone to blame when problems arise. A strong leader does the opposite: they direct recognition toward others and do not hide from responsibility. Trust grows when people know their work will be visible and they will not be sacrificed to protect someone else’s reputation. In that environment, teams think more boldly and speak more honestly. Leadership is more than giving decisions. It is creating a space in which other people can work well, grow, and feel genuine ownership of their success.
