Leadership is turning “we should” into “I will.”

Nearly every group is full of good suggestions that nobody has claimed. The gap between a room agreeing something ought to happen and the thing happening is one person willing to put their name on a specific part of it. That move is unglamorous, slightly risky, and almost the whole of what leading means.

Pick the suggestion sitting unowned in your group and take a piece of it by Friday. Say out loud what you will do and when. Watch how fast other people claim their parts once somebody has gone first.
