Authority vs Leadership
Today, we're going to look at how being a leader is different from just having authority.

Often, we associate authority with a job title – it's something granted to you when you reach a certain position in a company or organization. It comes with a set of expectations.

But what about leadership? Leadership is a whole different game. It's not just a title - it's earned through your actions and the way you influence those around you. A true leader inspires and motivates.

Let's see how these two ideas are similar and different, and why they both matter.
