5 things you can do today to lead without a title:

#1. Be The CEO of Your Job. Your work is more than just a job. It's a chance for you to learn, grow, innovate and create value for other human beings. All work is noble. All labor has dignity. Yours matters.

#2. Make Tomorrow Better Than Today. Every day you are blessed to live is a gorgeous chance to make everything you touch better. Try not to get into the stagnation groove. And remember, a 1% improvement on the important things is well over a 365% improvement just 12 months from today.

#3. Take Care of People and People Will Take Great Care of You. Technology's brilliant. But it's a vicious master. Many people are wow at social media yet can't hold a real conversation. Good manners, sincere connection--get these right and people want to help you fly.

#4. Be a Perpetual Student. All I mean by this is to double your income and impact, triple your investment in your personal development and professional skills. The person who knows the most wins. And education is inoculation against disruption. One hour a day. Learning. You're become unstoppable.

#5. Know Your Cause. The secret of passion is purpose. To really lead, no matter what you do, you really need to find a sense of mission for your work and life. This is how you get the fire in the belly. So make the time to think about your cause. And give your life over to something bigger than your life. Stunning rewards will come your way.

And the world deserves no less from you.

Now, go lead!
