Don’t Build a Team Around Your Insecurity

Insecure leaders build teams that feel safe. Not strong.

They surround themselves with people who won’t challenge, question, or push back. Why? Because it’s easier to manage agreement than growth.

But if everyone in the room always agrees with you, you’re not leading a team—you’re leading an echo chamber.

Secure leaders hire people who are smarter, stronger, sharper in areas they’re not.

If you’re always the ceiling, your team will never rise.

Today, ask yourself: Am I building a team that supports me or sharpens me?
