Once upon a time, people followed leaders because of their title.
Today?
People follow because of trust.
In the Credibility Era, being a leader means being questioned. Constantly.
The hardest part?
You’re expected to inspire others while you’re still figuring it out yourself.
This is the real leadership struggle today:
The world is no longer asking, “Who’s in charge?”
It’s asking, “Can I trust you?”
And in this era, credibility is the new currency of leadership.
But what if your team member isn’t performing?
That’s when credibility is truly tested.
Do you react with blame — or respond with coaching?
Do you protect your image — or protect their potential?
You know what stuck with me the most as a leader?
Not the applause after a big project.
But that quiet moment when someone said, “Thanks.
That one sentence changed the way I work.”
Sometimes, that’s all it takes — one insight, one shift — and someone rises.
“Tapi momen paling berkesan?
Bukan saat proyek selesai.
Tapi waktu aku bantu orang lain naik level ,cuma lewat satu arahan kecil.”
And along the way, @Andryaasmamuaya inspired me with his thoughts.
Because leadership is never one-way. Sometimes, the people we lead… lead us back.
💬 Have you ever faced a tough leadership moment that tested your credibility? How did you handle it?
