I’m on an airplane over Russia as I write this blog on my Blackberry. Reading a quote in The Financial Times where an elf mentions to a Hobbit: “Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.” Excellent advice. That we can all remember.
All too often we postpone taking charge and driving change forward until we receive more responsibility and get a bigger title. But the best time to be the leader you’re meant to be isn’t some imaginary time into the future. It’s today. Right now.
No matter what you do in the organization you’re in: Lead Where You Are Planted. Start from where you are. Your bold act of leadership just might transform your organization. And if you get super lucky, the course of the future.

Hi Robin,
from the mere fact you are writing this flying over Russia made me think that in itself deserves a response! I think I was meant to find your blog today because I was thinking about a few things, and the main question was, "where do I start?" and yes I will embrace that message, "start from where you are". Thanks for sharing Omi
