Leadership doesn't require a title or direct reports. You demonstrate it by doing the right thing, backing teammates, and showing up for colleagues through challenges. Earning trust through actions is how you build real influence.
I would just say to, to people out there that if you're working for somebody who's not the type of leader that you and I've been talking about today, Marc, then be it yourself. Start becoming it yourself. Because again, you don't have to have a title. You don't have to have responsibilities of somebody reporting to you. You can be a leader. And by just doing the right thing, making sure that your teammates, the people that you work with, work around, are associated with know that you've got their back, they have your support, and you're going to do everything you can to help them, you know, get through whatever's going on.
