Are you taking the steps necessary to become a leader?

“Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.”

Steve Jobs

Innovation isn’t about titles or roles but how you choose to see the world around you. Too often, we get stuck repeating the same approach, thinking that’s what’s required to be seen as a leader. But leadership isn’t about following what’s been done before—it’s about seeing things differently, acting differently, and pushing into new territory.

Are you challenging how things are done, or are you just maintaining the status quo? Innovation means translating new thinking into action. It’s the shift from “what if” to “let’s do it.”

Are you taking that next step?

One of my favorite books of all time is, “The Innovator’s Dilemma” by Clayton Christensen. It’s a must-read for understanding the mindset of those who innovate.  

Leadership isn’t about a title but what you do next.
