What does micro-leadership look like? Here are a few examples:
- It's asking a reticent teammate for their opinion when they have been quiet the whole meeting.
- It's responding with kindness when someone greets you with anger or fear.
- It's accepting responsibility even when it wasn't your fault.
- It's sharing praise that was directed at you, with your teammates.
- It's being willing to say no when everyone else is saying yes, and being willing to say yes when everyone else is saying no.
- It's taking the time to thoughtfully share constructive feedback.
- It's asking the questions no one else will ask.
- It's arriving early to help set up, and staying late to help clean up.
- A world filled with acts of micro-leadership is one where it's possible for everyone to be a leader even without being the leader. It's one where rather than the exceptional few, leaders are the exceptional many.
