This book is not about leadership, (at least in the way we normally think about it). Leadership is not about position, or authority. It’s not about big speeches or grand visions. Leadership is about engaging others to solve daunting challenges. Those challenges appear in our professional lives, in our communities, and in our families. Leadership is an activity—small actions taken in moments of opportunity. You can learn to see more of these moments and actively seize the opportunities for change. More importantly, you can help others learn to see these moments and give them the confidence to make changes. No matter what role they are in within your organization, neighborhood, or family, their many small actions will combine to produce the power needed to resolve the biggest problems. Because when everyone leads the toughest challenges get seen and solved.
