Book Review- You Don't Need a Title to Be a Leader by Mark Sanborn

This short book, subtitled "How Anyone, Anywhere, Can Make a Positive Difference", by leadership author and speaker Mark Sanborn encourages people to lead , regardless of their position within an organization. At just over 100 pages, it's a good, quick read.

Here are some valuable insights Sanborn shares in the book:

It's impossible for a title or an organizational chart to reflect all the many people who act as leaders or exert leadership throughout the organization.

Real leaders bring the same commitment to excellence to whatever they do, whether on the stage or behind it.

It's easy to be incredibly busy and still accomplish little.

One of the quickest ways to burn out is to stop doing what you enjoy. The more successful you are, the greater the risk that you'll move into a position that will take you away from doing those things you're really good at doing and really like to do. You may have more responsibilities and as a result have less time to spend doing what you care most about.
