Ken Lear is a father and entrepreneur living in Detroit.📍A voice in leadership, business, & entrepreneurship. Devoted to bringing out the best in others. 🤝
I realized I didn’t have to handle everything on my own and that part of my journey is to empower others to accomplish their dreams.
My goal isn’t to build a team that depends on me, but to build a team that grows because of me.
Early on, I thought my job was to have all the answers, make every decision, and make sure nothing went wrong. But as I grew and advanced in my career I realized that I needed to trust the people around me, to let go of control, never stop learning, and to try again every day.
There’s more to me than business, leadership, and telling people to get out of their comfort zones.
What you surround yourself with shapes how you think, how you grow, and ultimately, how you lead.
Now I’m curious: What’s one book, podcast, or hobby you’d recommend I check out?
How many opportunities have you missed because you were worried about what others would think, waiting for the perfect moment, or afraid to take that first step?
Stop letting comfort convince you that you've reached your limits.
Your choices must begin to reflect not just the person you are, but the person you’re becoming.
You have to update your systems, just like a computer updates its software. Otherwise, you’ll simply fall behind.
Happy Thursday

A leadership tip I learned from my mentor Brad Park back when I was building my first office: Get good at writing things down.
There are too many things in life, and too many things you want to accomplish, to try to remember everything in your head.
At the time, I was unorganized, overwhelmed, and missing out on great things. Mentally, I wasn’t as present as I could have been.
Now, many years later, with more responsibilities than ever—family, kids’ sports, business, and life—I’ve realized something:
Different kind of wings. Same level of commitment.
Leadership doesn’t come with a runway, but it does come with early mornings 🙌

When the team is negative, they bring optimism. When standards slip, they bring accountability. When results decline, they bring solutions.
The question isn’t what kind of environment you’re walking into. The question is what kind of environment you’re creating.

A thermometer tells you what the temperature is. A thermostat determines what the temperature will be.
Average leaders walk into an office and become a reflection of its energy, attitude, and standards.
Great leaders walk into an office and change those things.
And for all the naysayers who said it couldn’t happen, trust me, they will forget, and they will say, “I believed in you the whole time.”
Happy Friday!

No, it is not comfortable to make your own way in this world. Yes, it is simpler to follow the well-walked path, one that is certain and clear.
Have faith. Believe in yourself before anyone else does, because it is the consistency with which you act on your vision, your goals, and your dreams that enables them to transform from ideas into reality.
