3 days of deep conversations, insightful discussions, and lively debates on what truly defines leadership.


Leadership isn’t defined by titles, positions, or grand gestures. It’s about small, meaningful actions that create a lasting impact. True leadership is less about authority and more about the willingness to make a difference, no matter how small. It involves recognizing opportunities for positive change and consistently making contributions that, over time, lead to significant transformations.


I’d like to share some brief stories that illustrate how leadership exists within each of us, waiting for the right moment to shine.


1. A team leader at a corporate firm miscalculated a major project, resulting in delays and stress for the entire team. Rather than shifting blame or making excuses, she convened a meeting and sincerely apologized to her team. She acknowledged her mistake and sought their input on how to proceed. This display of humility deepened the team’s respect for her, and they collaborated to find a solution. Her willingness to be vulnerable ultimately made her a stronger leader, demonstrating that true leadership involves owning up to mistakes and working together to create solutions.


2. During a marathon charity event, the company CEO chose to participate, despite not being known for his athleticism. Many employees were skeptical about his ability to finish the race, but his determination caught them off guard. Although he didn’t win or even place, his perseverance inspired his team to push themselves harder, both in the race and in their work. His efforts demonstrated that leadership isn’t about being the best; it’s about showing up, making a commitment, and motivating others through your own actions.


3. In a busy sales department, a new employee named James was having difficulty meeting his targets. Rather than reprimanding him, his manager chose to have a private conversation with him one day. She asked about the challenges he was facing and provided constructive feedback, but more importantly, she expressed her belief in his potential. This encouraged James, and within a few months, his performance significantly improved. The manager’s leadership style was quiet yet powerful, showing that sometimes, all it takes to inspire success is a little positive encouragement.


True leadership emerges from our everyday choices. Go make the right choice.
