Obi Marroquin liked thisObi Marroquin liked thisLooking forward to presenting tomorrow at Utah Manufacturers Association to talk about our new tariff reality. To bring the point home that--like it or not--the world has changed, I thought it would be clever to discuss the "stages of grief" the market has been going through. A quick internet search shows I am FAR from the first person to make the comparison. Ah well. Nothing new under the sun. But maybe it's more than metaphor. The movement from grief to anger, then bargaining, depression and (soon?) acceptance is not a bad framework for interpreting how the markets are reacting to these major policy shifts. https://lnkd.in/gamRPKnSUMA Celebrating 120 Years of Growing Manufacturing | Utah Manufacturers AssociationUMA Celebrating 120 Years of Growing Manufacturing | Utah Manufacturers Association

Nobody remembers hierarchical structures from 10 years ago. But everyone remembers the boss who crushed their confidence. Or the one who believed in them when nobody else did. That’s the paradox of leadership: Titles are temporary. Power is borrowed. But your actions leave permanent fingerprints on people’s lives. Too many leaders chase recognition instead of respect. They cling to status instead of substance. The turning point comes when you realize: Your job title can be erased in a single reorganization. But the way you treat people gets carried in their memory forever. So, here are 9 shifts every leader must make: 1. Instead of commanding respect, earn it. ❌ Fear lasts until you leave the room. ✅ Respect lasts long after you’ve left the company. 2. Instead of speaking first, listen first. ❌ Power makes you think your voice matters most. ✅ Influence comes when others feel their voice matters too. 3. Instead of micromanaging, empower. ❌ Control creates compliance. ✅ Trust creates commitment. 4. Instead of pointing fingers, take responsibility. ❌ Titles protect blame. ✅ Leaders protect people. 5. Instead of hiding mistakes, admit them. ❌ Perfection builds walls. ✅ Vulnerability builds bridges. 6. Instead of chasing credit, give credit. ❌ Recognition you steal dies fast. ✅ Recognition you give multiplies. 7. Instead of prioritizing results only, invest in people. ❌ Hitting numbers without hearts burns out teams. ✅ Growing people grows results exponentially. 8. Instead of remembering names on org charts, know stories. ❌ Employees aren’t headcount. ✅ They’re human beings with dreams. 9. Instead of protecting your title, build others’ confidence. ❌ Power fades when you leave. ✅ Influence lasts when you’ve lifted others. When you lead this way, people don’t just remember your position. They remember your presence. And the size of your impact. Not your title or the size of your office. Remember: Titles expire. Humanity doesn’t. The way you treat people is your true legacy. Every interaction writes your leadership story - make it worth remembering. ‐---‐------------------------------- ♻️ Repost this to support your network. 🔔 Follow me (Simon Koerner) for more valuable content on leadership, culture and growth.
