And that leadership is usually "Little L" leadership. It's not broadcast, it's not announced, and it doesn't have a marquee like a movie theater; it’s something that is happening very subtly, and it takes a trained eye to notice it. And one of the things I'd like to leave my students with is that trained eye."Resources Mentioned in This EpisodeInfographic: Technical Problems vs. Adaptive Challenges by SvarenArticle: The Principles of little 'L' leadership by SvarenBooks:  The Wager, Killers of the Flower Moon by David GrannBook: The Secret Hours by Mick HerronAbout The International Leadership Association (ILA)The ILA was created in 1999 to bring together professionals interested in studying, practicing, and teaching leadership.
