What I love about it
This book drew my attention to the fact that real leadership isn't about telling people what to do. it is about collaboration and mutual interests. with this in mind, you don't have to be a manager to start leading change. once you've identified the people who are part of your wider team, you can begin building trusting relationships with them. these relationships can then be leveraged to increase your influence in your organisation, and help you achieve your goals.

How I can apply its content to my life
Lean in to talented coworkers
Sometimes it pays to lead people outside of your team, too. Perhaps there's someone in your organisation with whom you have little interaction, but who always seems to have great insights and good ideas whenever you meet. ask yourself if you can create an opportunity to get to know this person better, perhaps by developing a project that the two of you could work on together. Building better relationships with the most dynamic people in your workplace will help you extend your influence and leadership over more of your organisation
