An uninspired leader cannot inspire their team. It’s that simple—and that powerful.

Many leaders shy away from the personal side of leadership development. It’s far easier (and safer) to attend industry events, expand technical expertise, or strengthen professional networks. But the real growth—the kind that elevates a leader from competent to transformational—requires turning inward. And that’s where many stop.

Why? Because self-development is personal. It requires introspection. It demands honesty, vulnerability, and confronting our blind spots and shadows. It’s far easier to stay on the surface and keep things transactional. Yes, you might be a “safe pair of hands,” someone who gets things done. But are you inspiring?

Because if you’re not walking into work inspired, it would be foolish to expect your team to be.

The Heart of Leadership Is You

True leadership isn’t just about processes and outcomes. It’s about energy, presence, clarity, courage. If you’re not investing in your own personal growth—if you’re not consistently working on your mindset, curiosity, and emotional resilience—then you’re likely just surviving the day. And in turn, so is your team.

Think about this:

• How often do you reflect on your own why?
• When was the last time you felt truly engaged and inspired in your role?
• Are you curious about who you’re becoming as a leader—not just what you’re achieving?

Half of the Australian workforce reports being disengaged. That’s not just an HR problem. That’s a leadership challenge. People are craving meaningful work, great leadership, and cultures where they feel seen, heard, and motivated. And it starts at the top.

Reignite Your Spark

If you’re a leader who’s lost their spark—who feels like they’re just pushing through the day—this is your call to pause and take stock. Reflect on what’s shifted. What’s no longer aligned? What needs attention—in you—before it can shift in your team or organisation?

You can be both respected and inspirational. Safe and transformational. Steady and magnetic.

But only if you’re doing the inner work alongside the outer work.

Your technical skills may have gotten you the title. But it’s your energy, your mindset, your presence—and your ability to inspire—that will define your impact.
