Leadership isn't reserved for those with fancy degrees or corner offices. Paul Schmitz's groundbreaking book "Everyone Leads" challenges our fundamental understanding of what it means to be a leader. The traditional view-focused on charismatic individuals with prestigious credentials-overlooks the vast potential residing in everyday people who care deeply about their communities. This revolutionary idea forms the foundation of Public Allies, an organization that has developed over 8,000 diverse young leaders since 1992. Why does this matter? Throughout American history, most social change came through ordinary people taking extraordinary actions. Even in business, many Fortune 500 companies weren't founded by people from elite backgrounds. Interestingly, research by Northwestern Mutual Life found entrepreneurship was actually negatively correlated with academic achievement and following authority figures. Public Allies defines leadership through three key components: First, leadership is an action many can take rather than a position few can hold. Second, leadership means taking personal and social responsibility to work with others toward common goals. Third, leadership requires practicing values that engage diverse communities to work effectively together. This approach addresses a critical gap in both leadership development and community problem-solving, especially considering that 80-90% of nonprofit organizations are led by Caucasians despite serving diverse communities.
