3 Habits That Separate Good Leaders from Great Ones
Leadership isn’t about how many people follow you, it’s about how well you lead yourself. Others will see your personal leadership you display and will want to follow that. Here are 3 habits that I’ve noticed separate good leaders from great ones: 1️⃣ They lead themselves first.If you can’t lead you, you’ll struggle to lead anyone else. Great leaders stay disciplined when no one’s watching. They show up when it’s hard, control what they can, and take ownership of their growth. 2️⃣ They’re constantly learning.Great leaders never “arrive.” They stay curious — always reading, listening, and asking questions. They don’t just want to look sharp; they actually want to get better. 3️⃣ They encourage instead of tear down. It’s easy to criticize. It takes strength to build others up. The best leaders I’ve been around speak life — they spot potential and call it out, even when it’s still rough around the edges. 💬 Question for The Forge: Which of these habits do you want to lean into more this week?
