In leadership, comparison is a silent thief. It steals your confidence, clouds your judgment, and shifts your focus from leading others to chasing someone else’s shadow.
When leaders constantly measure themselves against peers, they begin to second-guess decisions, dilute their authenticity, and lose the clarity that inspires teams.
Every leader brings a unique mix of skills, perspectives, and experiences that no one else can replicate. That’s your competitive edge, and it’s worth protecting from the erosion of comparison.
Lead from your own blueprint, not someone else’s.
Whose “shadow” might you be chasing—and what would it take to step out of it ?
What unique strengths do you bring to your leadership that no one else can replicate ?
