Amela Tiganj β€” Leadership That Stays
Leadership Development Β· Organizational Change

High performers
don't fail.
They get buried.

The most capable people in your organization are over-functioning in the wrong direction β€” delivering everything, leading nothing, heading for burnout. Amela Tiganj fixes that pattern. From the inside out.

Pattern at the
root of all of it

Most programs teach leadership.
This one installs it.

Three traps.
One outcome.

It doesn't matter if they're a tech lead, a senior manager, or a director with a decade of experience. The pattern shows up the same way. They're already leading β€” and somehow still invisible.

It's not imposter syndrome. It's not a confidence gap. It's a structural pattern that rewards doing and punishes leading β€” and the better they are, the deeper it pulls them in. Amela's work breaks that pattern.

01
The Competency Trap
They're leading β€” and still doing everyone else's work. Because they can. Because it's faster. Because it's easier than watching someone else struggle. Their competence has become the team's crutch, and their own ceiling.
02
The Visibility Gap
They're in the room. They're doing the work. They're just not being seen for it β€” not by the right people, not in the right way. Leadership requires being known for what you contribute. That doesn't happen by accident.
03
The Burnout Pipeline
Overloaded, under-recognized, and moving too fast to stop. They're running the team, managing up, covering gaps β€” and calling it leadership. It isn't. And it isn't sustainable. Something breaks eventually: performance, health, or the decision to leave.

One pattern.
Three ways in.

Whether you're an organization, a team lead, or an individual β€” the work is the same. Peer-led. Practitioner-facilitated. Built around real behavioral patterns, not theory. Here's how we work together.

Keynotes & Talks
A talk that changes how a room thinks about leadership

Amela speaks on the traps that keep high-performers buried β€” for leadership conferences, company events, and offsites. Her talks are diagnostic, not motivational. Audiences leave with a pattern they recognize and a shift they can make.

The session was so relatable. My key takeaway: start small, communicate, and make yourself visible in what you're doing.

"Most leadership advice was designed for someone else. I build approaches that work for who you actually are β€” not who you're being told to become."

Amela Tiganj is a Leadership Development Specialist and the creator of Lead Like Herβ„’. She works with high-performing individuals and organizations who are stuck in the same place: capable of everything, recognized for too little.

Her methodology is peer-led, practitioner-facilitated, and built around one conviction: lasting change doesn't come from workshops. It comes from building a new pattern, with accountability, inside the real week.
