While I'm not usually a fan of "leadership lessons you can learn from (insert pretty much anything here, including pets and inanimate objects)," this well-written piece from television writer James Poniewozik smartly frames an important decision made by new Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon: He introduced himself to his audience. And we're not talking "Hi, I'm Jimmy Fallon, and I'm looking forward to this." In fact, Fallon "deliberately walked the audience through who he was, who his supporting stars were and what kind of show he was going to do," writes Poniewozik. "He literally, at one point, pretty much explained how a late-night show works."
