4. The One With The Boundaries - The Gatekeeper Leader
This leader protected us like a shield.
Years of experience meant this leader knew exactly what our team should (and shouldn’t) work on. He said "no" so we didn’t drown in the overwhelming ocean of tasks, and he delegated with high precision. From this leader, I learned the power of boundaries—and that leadership isn’t just about doing more, but doing the right things.
Lesson: A leader’s job is to focus the team’s energy, not just amplify it.
