You are a leader
I’ll never forget when Steve Liu first went on stage to do stand-up. He got up there infront of the whole crowd and started his set by saying, “I’m not a comedian… by the way, I’m not a comedian.”
As a leader of any organization, people will look to you to take the first step. Leaders must be assertive and help drive outcomes, speak with authority and be comfortable confronting others diplomatically. But you don’t need a position to do any of these things.
The first step to being a leader is believing you’re one. Take every opportunity that presents itself to lead others. And when you get on stage and start telling jokes, you’re a comedian. Own it.
