The abundance of cheap leadership.

Coming across the vast realm of social media, I can't help but notice the abundance of what I call 'cheap leadership' floating around.

You know the kind of advice I'm talking about - the idealistic proclamations of how things should be, making it all sound so appealing and easy to achieve.

Yet, when you delve deeper, you realize it's mostly penned by individuals who lack the hands-on experience of managing a business. They haven't walked the path of making tough decisions to meet payroll or shouldering the responsibilities of true leadership.

And let me tell you, that journey comes with a hefty price tag.

In essence, theory may sound captivating, but it's mere cheap talk. Experience, on the other hand, is the true currency of leadership, and it doesn't come without a cost.

It's the price someone has already paid, paving the way for valuable lessons and insights.

So, the next time you stumble upon those glossy posts advocating leadership without any real experience to back it up, take a moment to reflect on the disparity between words and actions.

Genuine leadership is earned through the invaluable experience of navigating the challenges, and that's where the true wisdom lies.
