Titles, position, and exercising authority are not factors in leadership. A leader is someone who accepts responsibility for spotting potential in others and in ideas and has the guts to nurture that potential.

When we dare to lead, we don't claim to know the answers; instead, we maintain our curiosity and pose the appropriate questions. Because we understand that power becomes unlimited when it is shared with others, we do not view it as finite and do not hoard it. We don't shy away from challenging conversations or circumstances; rather, we lean towards vulnerability when it's essential to deliver quality work.
