Leadership is all around us; there is leadership of countries, leadership of small businesses, and leadership of our lives. Arguably, all progress - forward or backward - requires some form of leadership. Without the function, the lemmings walk into the sea, the herd trudges in circles, and the troops and teams lose the battles and the wars, and eventually, society turns in on itself. Leaders are a minority and chosen for right or wrong reasons. Regardless of the means or motivation, where these leaders come from really doesn't matter.

Today I discuss why the leaders that really matter are not those within the one percent of the one percent, but the leaders that are within us and why it is time for us to begin leading ourselves. I reveal the leadership opportunities we have across work, society, and parenthood. I share five things that leaders do and how everyone has a role in finding success. I also explore the ways that you can change the trajectory of what is ahead and ask you to consider if you want to live on your toes like leaders or your heels like followers.
