You can be liked without being a people pleaser. The leaders who win enduring respect are not the ones who say “yes” to everything—they are the ones who respect themselves enough to say “no” with clarity and conviction. We've seen that people pleasing may buy temporary harmony, but it erodes long-term influence. And the reason is simple - when you dilute your voice to keep everyone happy, you signal that your time, energy, and principles are negotiable. The opposite is not arrogance—it’s self-respect. A leader who sets boundaries, honours commitments, and stands firm on values creates both safety and admiration. Such leaders may not be universally “liked,” but they are deeply respected. And respect, in the long run, is the foundation for trust, loyalty, and follower ship. Are you seeking to be liked in the moment—or to be respected for a lifetime? #LeadershipLab​ ​

Thought Silence doesn’t always mean strength. It could also mean that you are tolerating something. And while tolerance is a good virtue to have, too much of it may be perceived as a mask or a sign of weakness. Because sometimes, what’s unspoken is exactly what needs to be said. What is your silence masking, that perhaps needs...
