Leadership isn’t one heroic moment. It’s oil changes: small, regular, forgettable, and the reason the engine lasts.

The dramatic version of leading is the one that gets filmed, but almost none of the real work looks like that. It is the boring maintenance: the message sent on time, the equipment checked, the awkward conversation had early. None of it makes a good story, and all of it is why the group still functions in March.

Find the maintenance nobody is doing in a group you belong to and take it on for a month. Expect no thanks for it. Watch what happens to the group anyway.
