Do you have to be a manager or executive to Being A Leader? No!
Leading others is a choice. It isn’t about your title.
Many people with executive titles are terrible leaders, and many people without a fancy title are outstanding leaders.
More than your title, being a leader is about influencing change and inspiring and motivating others. Leaders paint a picture of a better world and work with others to create it.
Nowhere does it say you have to be a manager or an executive to be a leader. But somehow, we’ve told ourselves that only people with certain titles can lead others. That’s just not the case.
You don’t need permission to become a leader. If you want to be a leader, start leading!

What will you do to become the leader you know you can be?
The #1 challenge for organizations in Being A Leader right now is how to attract and retain talent. Organizations are stuck in old ways of thinking about work and they are struggling!
