Is it possible to be a successful leader without being liked by everyone?

Absolutely. Success as a leader is measured by your ability to inspire, motivate, and guide your team towards achieving common goals, not by universal likability.
"What if they don't like me?" It's a question that haunts many, especially women leaders who navigate the tightrope of professional expectations and personal authenticity. This fear can be paralyzing, affecting your decisions, actions, and ultimately, your potential to lead effectively.
