Positive Leadership Tip | Ep 17: Demanding Not Demeaning

In this episode of Positive Leadership Wednesday, I explore what it really means to be a demanding leader, without being demeaning. I share why being positive doesn’t mean being weak or letting standards slide. Instead, I talk about how the best leaders expect the best from their teams and hold everyone accountable, but always in a supportive, uplifting way. I’ll tell you how you can call people up to greatness, rather than calling them out, and why choosing encouragement over criticism can help your team truly thrive. If this message resonates, share the episode and help inspire others to lead with positivity and high expectations!
