Real Leaders: Baby Steps

Stepping into Leadership doesn’t have to be a big thing. It can be small baby steps like these Leaders:

I arrived early to just help set up.  – Amy, WA

I left time to stay afterward and help clean up.  – Heather, WA

One of our leaders couldn’t be there one day, so I offered to be a substitute. – Stacey, TX

I volunteered to help with some service projects.  – Jillian, OK

One day, I just asked if the Leaders needed any help.  – Katrina, MI

I needed friends, so I just invited others to join me at the park.  – Kate, CO

I would hold the door for others arriving and greet them with a smile.  – Racquel, CA

I started helping to our Team keep track of expenses.  – Rebecca, ID

Consider one or two baby steps you could take this week. If you are a Leader looking for others to join you, is there something small you could ask someone to help with?
