Leadership
Whether others look to you for direction and act on it.
Leadership, as a signal, isn’t a job title. It is whether people turn to you when the way forward is unclear, and whether they act on what you suggest.
Plenty of people lead without the title, and plenty of people with the title are quietly worked around. This signal shows which one is happening to you.
How people describe it
People rarely search for the signal by name. They describe what it feels like when it is weak:
- “how to be seen as a leader”
- “people don’t follow my lead”
- “how to lead without authority”
