Leadership Isn’t Telling People What to Do – It’s Owning the Vision

Leadership isn’t about being the boss or having all the answers. It’s about owning your vision so clearly that others rise with you. In this episode of Elevate Beyond Boundaries, host Glory Lichon dismantles the outdated myth that leadership is about control and authority—and shares what visionary, values-driven leadership really looks like for women entrepreneurs.

Whether you’re hiring your first team member or leading a team of 30, this episode will give you the clarity and courage to shift from task manager to vision-led CEO.

Glory shares her personal leadership journey from the military to CEO, plus practical steps you can take this week to empower your team, build a thriving culture, and expand your impact.
