You have such a unique way with words—this article truly kept me engaged from start to finish. Everything resonated so deeply. While I'm just a fresher at the corporate level, your analogy beautifully captured what I’ve experienced while leading in high school and during my graduation years—even if on a smaller scale. Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful and powerful piece of writing.

You’re so right. Leadership is a choice. Anyone can chose to take ownership and show up empowered.
