Leadership is oftentimes equated with transformation. But transformation isn't something that happens overnight. Transformation is something that takes a long time.

It’s the small things that you do over time that will lead to great impact.

Here are small things that you can do to be a better leader:

1. Recognize your team members - it can be as simple as saying thank you.

2. Put together diverse teams.

3. Practice self care - you need to take care of yourself so that you can in turn, take care of others.

4. Practice empathy - putting yourself in somebody else's shoes and perspectives and then responding based on that.

5. Take time to be curious.

6. Be sure you are listening instead of just hearing your people.
