In the last few months I've been realizing something
In the last few months I've been realizing something that, in professional life, comes to everyone sooner or later:
there are moments when you can feel “a little alone”.
And the funny thing is that it often happens precisely when there are many people around you.
It is not real abandonment.
It's a more subtle sensation.
For me, new.
I think it arises when references change, when responsibilities increase, when you no longer have someone to tell you exactly what to do.
When the perimeter expands, the weight of decisions grows with it.
Sometimes we are led to call “abandonment” what, perhaps, is actually a growth process.
In the last few months I've been realizing that when you really grow up, a strange thing happens:
the indications decrease,
confirmations are becoming rarer,
the silence around increases.
Not because the others aren't there.
But because, at a certain point, they can no longer decide for you.
Healthy organizations don't abandon people.
But they slowly stop holding her hand.
And it is a delicate passage.
Why doesn't it come with a sign that says "you're ready now."
It arrives like this: with more space, more autonomy… and even more vertigo.
At least for me, at the beginning, it was a little scary.
Because you realize that now it's your turn.
That you are the one who has to bear the weight of the choices.
That you are the one who has to stay present even when you don't have all the answers.
And perhaps that is where true leadership is born.
Not when everything is clear.
Not when someone reassures you.
But when you choose to stay.
To take responsibility.
To be a fixed point even in doubt.
I'm starting to think that the real antidote to feeling “left alone” isn't having someone to save us.
But start becoming the person who, for others, doesn't go away.
What remains.
Which holds the course.
That doesn't go away when things get complicated.
This, for me, is not an easy moment to define.
But I feel like this is an important moment.
Perhaps the most important of my career.
And so I hold on to this awareness, because it changes everything: the point is not to eliminate doubt.
The point is to learn to remain in doubt without losing presence, clarity, and direction.
2026, as I see it, will be a year like this: less need for reassurance, more ability to be solid.
Less searching for confirmation, more clarity on what really matters.
Less dependence on someone who “decides”, more shared responsibility and widespread leadership.
And this is where I want to go.
Building an environment where people grow without being held by the hand, but without feeling abandoned.
An organization where autonomy does not mean abandonment, and responsibility is not a burden, but a sign of trust.
Because in the end, if there's one thing these months are teaching me, it's this:
leadership is not a position.
It's a daily choice.
And today I choose to follow it through to the end.
