Don't waste leadership. Everyone is a leader in some respect. If you are a bipedal being consuming oxygen you are capable of showing compassion, empathy, and leadership.
Never miss a chance to champion a human being. Ever. Even the simplest things like thanking your barista as you leave your favorite coffee shop is showing leadership. I believe so deeply that leadership is about service. Serve your fellow humans where ever you show up and you will reap the rewards.
