When a sailboat runs aground, experienced sailors often deploy a "kedge anchor.” A smaller anchor, they row it into deeper water, drop it, and use their winches to pull themselves free.
In my opinion, the best leaders keep the kedge goals they've set for themselves private. They don't talk about them with their direct reports, and they don't constantly boast about them on social media. They show up and do the hard work that is required daily. Over time, people may notice a change in them and ask what they've been up to. It is then okay to share, but I suggest keeping it to a minimum.

Good points and suggestions.
Happy New Year's Eve to all.
Leadership grows when we stretch, it thrives when we risk, and it flourishes when we challenge.
The kedge anchor is a lighthouse and guide for what's to come next in improvement.
Growth comes not by standing still, but by pulling toward the unknown, toward the uncertain, toward the better version of ourselves.
