Be the leader YOUR world needs.
At Slingshot25, we believe that the world isn’t completely devoid of great leadership. We see fantastic leaders everywhere—individuals who inspire others and guide them to success. But here’s the thing: we need more of them. A lot more. That’s what drives our work. It’s what we think about every day.
Our mission is to help people become better leaders, and that starts with becoming better people. However, the idea that “the world needs better leaders” can sound idealistic. While there’s value in ideals, we believe in keeping things practical.
So here’s our question to you: What can you do to improve your world?
Your world is the people you interact with every day—your family, your colleagues, your customers. Instead of getting overwhelmed by the idea of fixing the whole world, focus on the part you can influence. How are you showing up for the people in your world? How can you make their lives, their goals, their challenges easier or better?
This is leadership.
Leadership isn’t some grand, unattainable concept—it happens in moments. It’s in the simple decision to care a little more, ask the next question, or trust someone enough to believe in their potential. Leadership happens in those moments when you challenge someone to see more in themselves than they think possible. It’s about showing up, again and again, for others.
And it’s not easy.
We see this all the time in our leadership coaching. It can be scary for people to take on the mantle of leadership and say, “It’s my turn.” But here’s the reality: the world needs you to step up, and you have more power to influence those around you than you may realize.
As you step into this role, there’s one quality we believe is indispensable: humility.
Humility isn’t about downplaying your skills or being unsure of yourself. In fact, humility and confidence go hand in hand. When you’re humble, you’re not self-absorbed. You’re confident enough to step out of your own way—less likely to be hijacked by fears or insecurities, which frees you to notice and act on those leadership moments.
But humility requires balance. Take servant leadership, for example. Done right, it’s a powerful way to lead. But taken too far, it can become a weakness. If you’re always serving others without setting boundaries or holding people accountable for their own work, you can inadvertently undermine your team’s growth. Leadership requires knowing when to serve and when to step back, letting your team rise to the challenge.
There’s a lot of nuance in being a leader. But one thing remains clear: the world needs more leaders like you. Not in some far-off idealized future, but here, now, in your world.
So, be one.
