    “Leadership is the awesome responsibility to see those around us rise.” Wow! 💥
  • @annapoorni1
    Courage is also the most underrated attribute in life. Courage to do the right thing not knowing the outcome. Humility (to accept that you may be wrong), clear thinking, empathy could be other much needed attributes
  • @FuentesStudios
    This is so true! A good leader is someone who is humble, always learning and serving others, not the other way around. To be a leader is to be a follower.
  • @mel4887
    I could listen to him all day long. Thank you 🙏🏻
  • @TArif5
    Simon ❤! A true inspiration!
  • @racaciaruth4460
    I love that...students of leadership. Always learning. Beautiful
  • @theliljc84
    I’ve lead by your philosophy for years but have never been able to articulate it. Thank you for putting my thoughts and actions into words.
  • @yuyutsu7
    I am lucky enough to know someone who is that type of leader. My better half. She has not only led multiple healthcare businesses ($100s of millions) through insane topline and bottom line growth, she has done it in true servant leadership spirit. The people around her who have grown in their careers swear by her and will follow her to the end of the earth! I am so proud of her! She has clear values and not afraid to make tough decisions based on those values. One of the reasons why people want to follow her.
  • @mararozsa3756
    WE NEED MORE MAN LIKE HIM PLEASE.MORE REAL MAN WITH BALLS WHO DOES THE RIGHT THINGS.
  • Courage is understated and not fully understood. Thanks for unfolding this key leadership characteristic
  • This is absolutely true, I had a CO like that in the military. I learned a lot from him about how to really be there for your people and to help them rise no matter whay
  • @RyanHawk
    Simon will forever be such an inspiration when it comes to leadership 💪
  • @MattGillis
    Very good. Ultimately, the key to successful leadership is finding the right balance between authority and servanthood, and having the courage to lead with integrity and compassion.
  • @dewsiey
    Thanks Simon! from this video we can understand that leadership is not just a rank or a form of power. Authentic leadership includes trust, the choice to support others, and the courage to advance the vision without forgetting integrity. Leadership is an endless learning journey where we are all evolving learners. Courage is at the core of leadership and this quality is often overlooked.
  • Thank you what make a great leadership is to see yourself and other people rise, and to be able to keep the team together and lead the team to the greater height.
  • @OlgaSuner-dx7fq
    Simon discusses so many topics openly and that is because his courageous nature. He reminds me of my French teacher (and yes I believe in transference 😊) who was courages and took the steps toward the vision. Lately was featured with Emanuel and Brigette Macron and was interviewed if it wasn’t the courage and belief in vision there is no possibility that this would have taken place.
  • Thanks, Simon! You just confirmed that I am aspiring to be a true leader, and seem to have been not only in the last 7 years with an actual leadership position. I ended up being the leader of the team in school projects and other contexts, actually not wanting to be the leader in more than one case. Only after meeting the best manager I ever had, did I realise that leading teams would give me joy, because I can make people thrive and succeed by leading them, by taking obstacles out of the way for them to reach our joint goals.
