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.
