Leading Today. Leading Tomorrow.

Drew Dudley: Everyday Leadership

Key points:

We must redefine leadership. It isn't just reserved for cultural icons or celebrities we see on television. All of us have the ability to make a difference in the lives of others.
Do not be afraid to succeed. People often shy away from the responsibility or task of being a leader. Embrace the leader within you!
