LEADERS MUST HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS

REALITY: Great leaders listen to their teams and empower them to contribute ideas. Will Guidara, author of Unreasonable Hospitality, built his success by listening deeply to his employees, valuing their insights, and fostering a culture where everyone’s perspective mattered. This approach led to unparalleled service, innovation, and being named the number one restaurant in the world.

LEADERSHIP IS ABOUT AUTHORITY

REALITY: True leadership is about influence and serving others, not just holding a title. Jesus emphasized this when he said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them… Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.” His life remains one of the most powerful examples of servant leadership and influence.

Brené Brown, through her groundbreaking research, has shown how vulnerability creates genuine connections and fosters trust—qualities she’s shared with leaders worldwide, transforming how they connect with their teams.

Challenging these myths can transform our approach to leadership.
