Being in a position of authority is not necessary to exercise leadership. It is not about making large statements or having grand visions. Leadership is getting other people to work together to overcome difficult problems. These difficulties manifest themselves in our professional lives, in our communities, and in our families, and they give the impression that they are unsolvable, that we are unable to determine what should be done about them, or that we are unable to bring about the necessary changes. They are not the same. Because leadership is an activity-a series of little actions made as opportunities present themselves. And as you begin to look around, you'll start to see more of those times; you should make the most of the opportunities that present themselves in those moments. Most essential, you have the ability to assist others in recognizing opportunities. Because of this, everyone is capable of taking the lead, and the only way we will be able to effectively address our most pressing concerns is if everyone takes the lead.
