Monroe Mushroom Queen
Lead with a soft light.
What this friend is telling you
Monroe stands among the giant glowing toadstools holding her mushroom lantern, and the whole realm follows her — and she has never shouted an order in her life. She carries a light and walks first, and everyone follows because they feel safe near her. If you are ever the captain, the line leader, the oldest kid, or the boss of the group project, this is how it is done. Show, don't shove. Wait for the slowest one. Light the path instead of pushing people down it.
Watch out for…
bossing. If you have to yell it, it is not leading anymore.

Next time you are in charge of anything, ask the quietest person in the group what they think — first.
