Ty Cobb Backer plunges into the essence of true leadership, emphasizing that your leadership quality directly reflects what you tolerate and how consistently you embody your principles. Personal growth and self-mastery must precede any attempt to lead others effectively.

• Leadership begins with self-awareness and personal development
• Your true character emerges in how you respond to challenges, not the challenges themselves
• Great leaders remain students, continuously learning and sharing knowledge
• Leadership isn't about you, it's about serving others and creating opportunities
• Don't yell from the mountaintop, come down and walk alongside your team
• Learn people's "love languages" to understand how they best receive recognition
• Practice "kind candor". Being truthful while maintaining compassion
• Your legacy lives through the people you develop, not the titles you hold
• Leadership is learned through experience, not innate talent
• Give credit for successes and take responsibility for failures
• Celebrate wins publicly and often
• You don't need to control everything. Empower others to lead

Join us next week for another raw, unfiltered conversation about leadership, culture, and legacy on Behind the Tool Belt.
