Most leaders believe listening is merely auditory:
You talk, sound waves enter my ears, and I register what you said.
That isn't listening.
That is just hearing.
The traditional Chinese character for listening—Tīng (聽)—reveals that true listening requires your full attention.

Stop trying to 'fake it till you make it.'

Faking it breeds imposter syndrome.

Leading yourself with faith means understanding one core truth:

You aren't finished—you are forming.

The Imposter Syndrome Antidote: You're Not Finished, You're FORMING!

[Russ Simon @RussSimonLeads]

Nurturing adds value to people.

Faith draws value out of people.

When you have true faith in someone, you don't just wish them well—you hold an expectation, and they actively rise to meet it.

Conferences and pep talks can inspire you for a day, but they don't transform a team for the long haul.

Inspiration is a Sprint.

"Instilling" is the Strategy

Real leadership isn't about hype—it's about adding value to your people drop by drop, day by day.

[Russ Simon @RussSimonLeads]

The way you VIEW things is the way you DO things.

To the untrained eye, it looks like a weed...

But I know what it actually is, so I see it differently, and I treat it differently.

Great leaders see the bloom before anyone else sees the stem and treat it that way.

[Russ Simon @RussSimonLeads]

Does this statement ring true to you? "I am a person of value who values people and adds value to people." One of the best ways you can ADD VALUE to people is to show them that you C.A.R.E. 🫶 CONNECT WITH RUSS SIMON: Russ Simon | The Capacity Architect™
