Leaderly Quote: Lead from where you are…
By Jo Miller
You simply won’t find a stronger advocate for women in leadership than Tara Jaye Frank.
Years ago, soon after we first met via Twitter, Tara posted a tweet that caught my eye and continues to be one of my favorite quotes:
“Don’t wait for positional authority.
If you lead from where you are, with everything you’ve got,
the authority will come… position or no position.”
In addition to her role as Hallmark’s Corporate Culture Advisor, Tara is a dynamic and inspiring speaker for women’s leadership conferences. As a guest contributor for Be Leaderly, she’s authored some of our most-loved, most-read posts.
Tara is one of the people I look to for a shot of inspiration when I’m having a tough day. So as you make plans to “lead from where you are” this week, here are some great articles from Tara, to inspire you, too.
