Weekly Team Leader Tip: Your Backstory

Jul 08, 2025 2:06 pm

You don’t need more credentials.

You need a clearer lens on who you already are.”

— The Generalist’s Advantage





If you’ve ever felt like your background was “too weird” to explain… good.

You’re probably closer to leadership gold than you think.

Because the most transformational leaders I know don’t follow a script. They follow a thread. They weave what they’ve seen—across industries, across identities, across seasons—into something real.


They don’t copy strategy. They become it.


So instead of cutting pieces of yourself off to fit into a model, what if you let your whole backstory speak?


The hard left turn in your 30s.

The decade that felt off-course.

The early chapter you never thought would matter.

It all matters. If you let it.

Your job isn’t to clean it up. It’s to conduct it.
