About This Book
You are a leader.
Even if you don't realize it, you inherently have influence on your world and the people around you. Bigger Than Leadership: Stories of Influence, Intention, and Inspiration explores what it means to be an intentional everyday leader.
Through more than eighty-five individual stories, including those of John Norlin, Houston Kraft, and Drew Dudley, author Brittany Do shows us:
- How being your authentic self, living uncomfortably, and taking chances actually pays off in the end
- How being intentional, in even the smallest of positive actions, has more impact than you may originally think
- How you can work collectively with others for the benefit of all
Life and leadership are intertwined, even in the often small, mundane moments. Although every human's journey to leadership is unique as we flow in and out of each other's lives, there is much to learn from our peers. Do's Bigger Than Leadership aims to arm readers with a diverse arsenal of inspiration and show how you, yes you, are a leader.

Leadership is Complicated
Definition
If you ask five people what their definition of leadership is, youâll get five different answersâeveryone has their own unique definition.
Through interviewing over eighty-five people about their respective leadership journeys, Iâve heard numerous definitions of leadership. Here are five that stood out to me:
⢠âI think when you take your ego out of it and serve a group greater than yourself, going beyond yourself, to me, thatâs true leadership.â âCaitlin Logue
⢠âUltimately, I think [leadership] boils down to two things. One is connecting with other people, and two is surfacing something within them that they may not see within themselves.â âAndrew Riis
⢠âThereâs no cookie cutter right answer of how to do [leadership]. And everyone inherently has influence and inherently is a leader.â âRayna LaFave-Clark
⢠âI would say [a leader] is someone who inspires another to take action, and it requires intention. But the ultimate kind of leadership is servant leadership. Itâs about taking the ego out of the equation and putting anotherâs highest good in its place, which is a never-ending battle; itâs not easy. But what makes it easier is to have the humility to admit we donât have all the answers.â âMadeline Steitz
⢠A leader is âbeing someone who can influence others to the extent that people change their behavior or...influencing a situation to the extent that it changes, whether itâs individual behavior or social structure and improving it or anything in between that spectrum.â âBen Fields
⢠âI honestly think [leadership] is being able to find opportunities that make people say âoh my god, I thought I was the only oneâ...thatâs a really powerful leadership act, to give people permission to not feel alone.â âDrew Dudley
