Don't underestimate the impact of the small things you do as a leader. I know at different points in my journey, I've been astonished and very humbled by some of the things that people remember and the impact those things have on people that at the time may seem very, very small. And it's not always about the vision and the drive. It's about being human when the time calls for it.
