Leading others is more than simply having a title and a team. It’s having the ability to inspire others to take action in spite of circumstances, to create momentum where there seemingly is none and to create the motivation needed to lead through shifting times.

When you stay in bed when you have the flu, you are teaching yourself how to care for you. You are mentoring yourself toward success.
