Follow the Followers and you will see where they get. You will most likely miss out on where you could have gone had you taken your path. But you will have gotten somewhere, maybe where you wanted to go? That’s an unknown. But leading yourself, you’ll always be where you want to be.

No one knows what the next big thing is until it happens. You don’t know what article, podcast, code, or song is going to take off until it does. But if you don’t put it out there, you also, never will. And when it does hit, the next step is figuring out how to make it stick.

The Glue fills in the Gaps on your team. They keep you together. They stop you from breaking apart. The glue isn’t a process, a spreadsheet or a line of code. The glue is a person. They might not have the title that you would think designates them as the glue, but everyone knows who they are and what they bring to the team. Everyone has someone on their team that is the glue – chances are it might be you.

Want to learn more? Want to get better at a particular task? Want to grow a new skill set? Stop standing to the side and jump in. Volunteer. Ask to take on a new task. And when you figure out that task, ask for another. You don’t grow by standing to the side and watching. You grow by jumping in, falling over, making mistakes, and getting back up and trying again.

Can you challenge your team? Not by giving them more work, but by questioning why they undertook a certain strategy, why they are following a certain pattern, what did they choose library A over library B? Can you ask them a question and have a discussion, not to assert your knowledge and authority but to learn and grow through asking why? The best teams ask each other why all the time, not for ego, but for team growth.
