77. Encouragement Is Real Leadership, with Andaleeb Ahmed

All the way from Pakistan to Silicone Valley, Andaleeb Ahmed has taken a journey that inspires many women to believe in themselves and bravely step into unfamiliar territories to come out as better leaders. Learning from her mother, she realised leading is more about enabling the talent and uniqueness in the people around you, than using them to just rise up the ladder. Helping those around you achieve their dreams and become better humans, makes your own leading more fulfilling. To find the right balance between encouraging other people, and taking care of your own self, leading is an ever evolving journey. And leaders don’t just hide under the titles of CEOs and Founders, they are hiding everywhere. They are hiding in the silent house helps, nail salon runners at the corner of the street, the mother who quietly makes sacrifices to make her children the leaders of tomorrow, leading lessons everywhere, if you look close enough.
