Everyone Leads
Can everyone really lead?
Aren’t some people just not meant to be in charge?
Aren’t there people who don’t want to be in charge?
Do you mean that everyone has a say about everything?
How
is it possible to get clear direction or consensus if everyone believes they are a leader?

Reframing: Leadership as an action verb
Leader – not as a noun
Leadership – as a verb, “to lead”

Not just from a place of power
Ordinary people doing extraordinary things
