Clay Scroggins wrote a book titled How to Lead When You're Not In Charge. He writes on page 225:
"I'm done treading water, just waiting on authority or a title to start leading. I'm determined to lead like life depends on it, because I believe it does. I'm not going to buy the lie that says I need more authority to have more influence. If the way of influence really outpaces the way of authority, let's get on the road together and start moving ahead. Great leadership depends on influence. The more influence you cultivate today, the more you'll have tomorrow."
