@leadershipmel: The Higher You Climb in Leadership, the Less Control You Actually Have… Here’s Why 👇 One of the most surprising (and frustrating) things leaders face as they grow is this: You thought leadership meant more autonomy. More say. More control over decisions. But instead… 👎 More people question your ideas 👎 More opinions come out of the woodwork 👎 More alignment is needed before anything moves forward It feels like you have less power, not more. Here’s the truth: As you grow, leadership is less about making decisions on your own… And more about building alignment with the people who matter. That means managing up, across, and all around the org. You now have MORE stakeholders who need to buy into what you’re doing. Not because you’re doing it wrong—because this is the job now. 🛑 So stop waiting for the day when you get to make decisions in a vacuum. ✅ Start focusing on how to understand your audience ✅ Create influence ✅ Build alignment based on what THEY need to hear ✅ And move things forward through trust and collaboration—not control That’s what senior leadership really looks like. 👉 DM READY to book your free strategy session to see if executive coaching is right for you. ➡️ Follow @leadershipmel for more tips on how to be a high-impact leader #leadershiptok #corporatetok #leadership #bealeader #leadershipskills #executivecoach #corporatelife #successincorporate #LeadershipDevelopment #HighValueLeader #WorkSmarterNotHarder #LeadWithIntention #worklife #TimeSavvyLeaders #ProductivityForLeaders #ExecutivePresence #LeadershipMindset #ManagementTips #ExecutiveMindset
