Transformational leadership and emotional intelligence are developed in growth environments. Are you intentional in surrounding yourself with people who:
1. Challenge you
2. Offer new perspectives
3. Push you to grow?
These are the keys to true leadership & personal development.
Great leaders seek out those who can teach them something new, aren’t afraid to question their ideas and bring diverse skills to the table.
It’s not being the smartest—it’s about creating a space where everyone’s strengths are valued and leveraged for the collective good.
So, if you find yourself consistently the top dog, it’s time to splash into a bigger pond or find friends who raise the bar.
Remember, real growth happens when you’re learning, not coasting.
