What Makes a Great Leader?
โฑ 10 minGreat leadership is not about having all the answers โ it's about asking the right questions, creating psychological safety, and unlocking the potential in others. Research by Google's Project Aristotle found that psychological safety (feeling safe to take risks and be vulnerable) is the #1 factor in high-performing teams.
Leadership styles range from autocratic to democratic to servant leadership. The most effective leaders adapt their style to the situation and individual needs of their team members.
