Summary
Everyone wants to be the visionary.
The motivator.
The one on stage, inspiring people.
But here's the truth…
The best leaders?
They're just as good at fixing broken systems…
as they are at inspiring people to believe in something bigger.
And more importantly…
They're trusted.
Because real leadership isn't just about big ideas.
It's about what James March called—
Plumbing… and Poetry.
But what he didn't say outright?
Neither of those matter…
if you don't have integrity.
Welcome back to Own Your Shift.
Today we're breaking down a concept from the book
On Leadership
And in it, they explain leadership as two roles:
👉 Plumbing
👉 Poetry
But I'm adding a third layer to this conversation, because in the real world, it's non-negotiable.
If this episode hit, share it with someone who needs this reminder.
And if you're building something… your body, your business, your life
Remember…
It only works if you do.
