Great leaders understand that growth happens not in isolation, but in collaboration. The best teams don’t just work together—they challenge, refine, and elevate each other. 

Sharpening isn’t always easy. It requires honest feedback, accountability, and a willingness to be uncomfortable. But just like metal against metal, the friction of constructive conversations, diverse perspectives, and shared learning makes us stronger, sharper, and better equipped to lead. 

As business leaders, we have a responsibility to:

• Foster a culture where ideas can be tested and strengthened
• Encourage feedback that fuels growth rather than fear
• Surround ourselves with people who push us to improve

Who has helped sharpen you in your leadership journey? And how are you sharpening those around you? Let’s keep pushing each other to be better.
