Whether you're leading a team through a tense meeting or walking into the office on a quiet Monday, you're always showing up as a leader. In this episode, James Duvall explores how your presence—especially when no one’s applauding—teaches people what kind of leader you are. He unpacks the patterns that shape your leadership reality, shares a framework to break out of default mode, and challenges you to lead with greater intention. Because your team isn’t following your intentions… they’re responding to your presence.
