Neuroscience shows: intentional giving and investing shape the most respected leaders.
Ronnie Kinsey, MBA
May 06, 2025
You don’t need a title to lead well.
You need to be intentional about what you give - and why.
Studies show that even the act of planning to give activates reward centers in the brain.
That means your mindset around generosity matters.
It impacts how you show up, and how others experience your leadership.
Trusted leaders aren’t just productive. They’re present.
They give time, energy, and recognition in ways that actually build others - not to impress, but to support.
You don’t need to go big to make it meaningful.
It’s about consistently showing up in ways people can count on.
Think of the leaders you trust most. Chances are, they:
Invest in people, not just outcomes
Stay grounded under pressure
Make others feel seen
Act from values, not convenience
That’s intentional generosity. It doesn’t drain. It resets.
If you want a quick way to check where you’re aligned and where you’re not, here’s a simple tool:
G.I.V.E. Reflection – A Weekly Reset
G – Give:
What am I giving that helps others succeed?
I – Invest:
Where am I putting time, money, or effort—and is it aligned?
V – Visibility:
Who deserves to be recognized that I haven’t acknowledged yet?
E – Elevate:
What am I actively building or growing through how I lead?
You don’t need to do all four.
Just one thoughtful move each week can strengthen trust - and remind you of who you are when you lead well.
This week’s opportunity:
Pick one person, one project, or one decision.
Give or invest on purpose.
Let that be the thing that sets the tone for how others experience your leadership.
Because leadership really isn’t about doing more.
It’s about choosing what impact aligns most - and following through with intention.
This week I have been attending events around The Milken Institute Global Conference.
