Where do you lead from?
From the front, the back, or the side?
Most people see leadership as something that happens from the front — the leader sets the direction, defines the path, and inspires others to follow.
That image is powerful but incomplete.
In truth, leadership can come from three directions:
the front, the back, and the side.
Each reflects a different way of guiding people and shaping outcomes — with its own strengths and risks.
1-Leading from the Front is the visionary style.
It’s about showing the way, bringing clarity and momentum. But when it turns into dominance, others may feel unsafe to contribute or become too dependent on one person.
2-Leading from the Back is the servant style.
It focuses on empowering others, giving space, and supporting their growth. These leaders put people and purpose before visibility.
Though sometimes seen as weak, it often represents a deeply mature and human approach to leadership.
3-Leading from the Side is the mentoring style.
It’s about collaboration, presence, and shared thinking. These leaders build trust through teamwork and open dialogue.
Yet because they’re less visible, decision-making can sometimes feel unclear.
True leadership isn’t about choosing one approach — it’s about knowing when to step forward, step back, or walk beside.
The art of leadership lies in sensing what the moment — and your people — truly need.
So the real question isn’t which direction is best,
but rather:
Where do you lead from most naturally, and where could you learn to lead differently?
