The Leadership Superpower You’re Probably Not Naming

Most successful Integrators and managers I coach have something in common—something no one puts on their resume.

It’s not a tool  or a degree .

It’s the way they process stress, feedback, and friction.

There’s a psychological concept called locus of control.
It refers to where you believe your power lives .

If you have an external locus of control, you believe outcomes are shaped by other people—your boss, your team, your past, the market.
You wait. You react. You explain. 

If you have an internal locus of control, you believe your actions influence your outcomes.
Even when things are hard, your questions shift from blame to ownership:

 “What can I do to close this gap?”
 “What would it take to show I’m the right person for this role?”
 “How can I help others see my value instead of defending it?”

 Do you believe your power is inside of you—or outside of you?
Because if it’s outside of you, you’ve just handed over your power.
You’ve made someone else the narrator of your leadership story. 

That shift—from external to internal—is where real leadership begins.

Not in a title. Not in a scorecard.
But in the ability to respond, adapt, and own the next move.
