Hey There 👋 

Happy Better Yourself Friday!🌟 This week, we’re shining a light on something we often forget, you don’t need a title to be a leader. Leadership isn’t just about holding a position or having authority. It’s about the way you show up, the responsibility you take, and the impact you make. Even when no one’s watching. Whether you’re working on a group project, helping organise an event, or simply supporting a friend, your ability to lead already exists and it starts with small, intentional actions.

True leadership is a mindset. It’s in the person who offers help without being asked, who speaks up when something needs to change, and who lifts others up along the way. You can lead from any seat at the table and often, those without the spotlight are the ones making the biggest difference. So how do you grow your everyday leadership skills? Start by taking initiative. If you see a problem, be the one who suggests a solution.

Start that study group, volunteer to coordinate a task, or raise your hand when no one else does. Next, support others as you grow. Celebrate your peers' wins, lend a hand when someone’s struggling, and remember: leadership is never just about one person, it’s about we, not me. Lastly, define your leadership style. Are you a motivator, a quiet strategist, or the go-to person in a crisis? Leadership doesn’t look the same for everyone, and that’s a strength.

Remember you don’t have to wait for a title. You don’t need permission. Leadership is already within you. So step into it, your way, your voice, your impact. 💪

So without further ado, here’s another installment of Better Yourself Friday

8 Common Leadership Styles (Plus How To Find Your Own)

There are many ways to lead, and understanding your leadership style can help you grow. Common styles include autocratic (decision-maker), democratic (collaborative), transformational (inspiring change), coaching (developing others), and servant (putting the team first).

Others like bureaucratic, laissez-faire, visionary, pacesetting, and strategic offer different strengths depending on the situation. The best leaders adapt their style to the needs of their team and goals, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to leadership. 👥✨
