Notable quotes from Dr. McClam’s interview:

You don’t necessarily have to be in a named leadership position to be a leader. People can recognize leadership from any position that you take, even if you’re doing individual work.
How can you make a difference even in the position that you have? Success is really the endpoint. It’s like what you’re looking for--it’s a chance for you to say, well, what can I do given that I’ve accepted this, whatever has happened to me or what’s happened in my situation, that I can make it better for myself?
