In this inspiring new book Mark Sanborn shows how each of us can be a leader in our daily lives and make a positive difference, whatevery our title or position.
The author talks about how it is not leadership with a capital "L," but "little l" leadership, the little things we do all day long in all areas of our life, that makes a difference.

"An investment in knowledge pays the best interest."
-- Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)
American statesman, writer & scientist
I just finished Mr. Franklin's autobiography. What a great testimony of someone gaining knowledge and utilizing it to better not only his standard of living but others. The man, according to his surroundings, never should have risen above being a day laborer.
Great example of doing something different today to make a difference tomorrow.
This man was truly a leader long before ever having a title.
Page 13: "...true leadership is an invitation to greatness that we extend to others. There's a catch though. We can't give what we don't have. We can't extend an invitation we haven't already accepted."
I had never thought of this, but how many times do we want someone else to lead, yet aren't willing to lead from where we are at.
Someone once said.."it is much easier to guide something that is moving with you and not setting still or worse, pushing against your efforts."
Page 16: "Genuine leaders make things better not just for themselves but for others, whether or not their contribution results in financial reward or popular recognition......they achieve greatness by working quietly in their organizations and communities, in their own lives, and in helping those around them...."
