Leadership matters. It makes a difference. In fact, its results cannot really be measured. A leader’s influence spreads through society and time and often has a much bigger effect than most can imagine. This is called the Ripple Effect. Remember, a forest fire starts with just a tiny spark. The tallest oak grows from a small acorn. So it is with the efforts and influence of a leader. One person can and does make a difference.
Never underestimate the impact of your decisions in the lives of others. Never doubt that you, as a lone individual, can make big things happen. Follow the vision you’ve got to make something better, to attack the status quo, to assault the present in the pursuit of a better future, and allow the compounding effect of incremental efforts to do its wonders. And just know this: you’re probably thinking small!
