Leadership isn’t just for top bosses. Everyone, at every level of an organization, is a leader—and they likely don’t even recognize it. But, getting people to see their own potential is Drew Dudley’s specialty. By paying attention to the influence you have on the lives of those you work with, you can leverage moments of profound leadership and support: you may not even realize you’re having an effect on others, but you are. Based on an anecdote from his past, he calls these encounters “lollipop moments” the moments that might mean little to you, but are life-changing to your fellow colleagues.
