Think leadership only happens in boardrooms? Think again. Some of the best lessons come from the most unexpected places.
Take improv comedy. The golden rule? “Yes, and…” Great leaders build on ideas, not shut them down. Or consider video games—ever led a ragtag team to victory in an online quest? That’s strategy, communication, and motivation in action.
I once learned about delegation from a pizza shop manager who trusted his team to handle the Friday night rush. The result? Happy customers and a stress-free boss.
Even parenting teaches leadership: patience, negotiation, and the art of cleaning up messes (literal and figurative).
Bottom line: Leadership isn’t about titles—it’s about influence, empathy, and adaptability. So, look for lessons everywhere. You might just find your inner CEO at a karaoke night.
