lead

Leading doesn’t always occur in the spotlight or at the front. Leading also lives on the sidelines and behind the scenes. The ability to lead is synonymous with the ability to support. A leader may be the icon leading the charge or the one silently working to make it all happen but the results are the same: accomplishments.
