Leadership Is Caught, Not Taught

You can’t hand someone a book, tick a box, and suddenly they’re a leader.

Leadership isn’t taught - it’s caught.

It’s caught when you see a teammate back up their words with action.

It’s caught when someone owns a mistake instead of hiding from it.

It’s caught when pressure hits and someone steps forward instead of shrinking.

That’s what we dug into at last Monday night’s workshop. Leadership isn’t about a

badge or a title - it’s about the influence you bring to the people around you.

And here’s the kicker: people are always watching. They’re watching how you

respond when things don’t go your way. They’re watching what you say when no one

else has the courage to speak. They’re watching whether you lift others up or push

them down.

It’s not the lecture that shapes a leader. It’s the lived example. So here’s the challenge this week:

What’s one moment where you can show leadership, not just talk about it?

Because someone’s going to catch it.
