8 Things Weak Leaders Say (Strong Leaders Never Do) If you catch yourself saying these, it’s time to level up. Weak leaders rely on excuses. Great leaders rely on accountability. 1️⃣ “That’s not my responsibility.” → Leaders don’t pass the buck—they own the results. 2️⃣ “This is just the way it is.” → Leaders don’t accept the status quo—they challenge it. 3️⃣ “We tried that once, and it didn’t work.” → Leaders don’t give up after one failure—they learn and try again. 4️⃣ “Just follow the process.” → Leaders don’t blindly follow procedures—they think critically. 5️⃣ “I don’t have time for that.” → Leaders don’t shut down growth opportunities—they prioritize and make time for what matters. 6️⃣ “I’ll wait for approval.” → Leaders don’t wait to act—they take initiative and lead by example. 7️⃣ “It’s not my problem.” → Leaders don’t turn away from challenges—they lean in and solve them. 8️⃣ “I’m not sure what to do.” → Leaders don’t get stuck in indecision—they ask for help, adapt, and move forward. 💬 Which one do you hear most often? ---- ♻️ Repost this if you’re serious about leadership. ➕ Follow Ryan Yockey for more.
