Great leadership can be a difficult thing to pin down and understand. You know a great leader when you're working for one, but even they can have a hard time articulating what it is that makes their leadership so effective.
You can be a leader in your workplace, your neighborhood, or your family, all without having a title.
The beauty of social awareness is that a few simple adjustments to what you say can vastly improve your relationships with other people.
It's often said that you're the product of the five people you spend the most time with. If you allow even one of those five people to be toxic, you'll soon find out how capable he or she is of holding you back.
Leadership and management are not synonymous.
When you take on more than the norm, your boss can't help but think that you're capable of a bigger role. This includes showing that you're willing to take risks by making innovative suggestions.
