Leadership Word of the Week: Gravity

Great leaders don’t push people forward.
They pull.

That’s gravity.

Not charisma. Not hype.
Gravity is what happens when your team knows exactly what you stand for—and trusts you mean it.

It sounds like this:

“If Dave’s involved, it’s probably worth doing right.”
“She’s not loud, but she’s solid. Steady.”

Want more gravity? Start here:

  1. Be brutally consistent with your values
  2. Deliver quietly excellent work
  3. Speak last—but say the thing no one else will

Your gravity grows every time you anchor your actions in principle, not pressure.

This week: Ask yourself,

What’s one quiet action I could take that strengthens my leadership gravity?
