This episode highlights how true leadership isn’t about titles—it’s about stepping in to help and supporting your team. Through stories like Mario’s quick thinking at a coffee stand, we see how filling gaps and following can be as valuable as leading. Key takeaways include finding balance in how much work matters, learning to follow before leading, and how managers can support teams instead of just giving orders. The message: teamwork and leadership are about listening, effort, and respect at every level.
