Not having parental support can be frustrating, but your influence matters more than you realize. Teens often seek guidance from adults outside their families when they’re looking for direction. Even if it seems like the lessons aren’t clicking now, you’re helping to build a foundation they may come back to later. 

Leadership is a dynamic journey, it requires continuous learning and evolving responsibilities beyond just managing tasks. It’s about guiding people, making tough decisions, and being the one others look to for direction and support. The leadership journey does not come without challenges.

Transformation leadership is about inspiration and motivation to exceed expectations by focusing on a shared vision, personal growth, and positive change. But is it realistic in today's times?

Dark or Destructive leadership is associated with those leaders who are effective at engaging followers, building teams, and getting results through others— but who obtain results that are immoral or unethical.

I agree that decision-making is both an art and a science. It’s a blend of intuition, experience, and a thoughtful process to guide us through life’s complexities. Whether in business, personal life, or everyday situations, the choices we make shape our path and define our future. Yet, if we understand our influences, and learn from past decisions, these approaches can improve our ability to make sound decisions.

I’ve heard say that “conducting an effective meeting is both an art and a science." Meetings are a fact of life in the workplace. I cannot imagine a leader who does not have meetings. IF they are well-planned and well-led, meetings are a valuable tool to accomplish goals. Unnecessary or inefficient meetings are costly, time-consuming, and frustrating.  

Conflict isn't necessarily negative. It's an inevitable part of our lives. It happens when we have different goals, values, or needs. When manifested, it can range from minor disagreements to intense disputes. It can however, lead to decreased morale, reduced productivity, or long-term resentment if not addressed properly.

Servant Leadership is relevant and beneficial in today’s times because it aligns well with contemporary values and business practices.

Religion is not the same —but it can be related. Spirituality is broader and involves a sense of connection to something greater than yourself. It focuses on the individual experience, inner peace, and personal connection with the universe or a higher power. You can express your spirituality with religion, but you don't need to be religious to be spiritual.

Do you ever wonder how different personalities affect leadership? Is it true that quiet, introvert people are not leaders? Sure, some leaders are louder than others, but that doesn’t mean that quiet, introvert people cannot be leaders. There are plenty who have accomplished much as leaders with a quiet personality. It all depends on the leadership style.
