You don’t get the culture you proclaim. You get the culture you practice, promote, and permit.

In a group, setting high standards creates conflict. Raising standards creates conflict. Enforcing standards creates conflict. Always. No matter what. If you're afraid of conflict or unwilling to engage in it, you'll never set, raise, or enforce high standards. Ever.

If you expect your team to do the work to get better, you must do the work to get better. You can’t hold people accountable to a standard you aren’t willing to live. That’s called hypocrisy. Leaders go first.

Got to learn recently from a CEO of a company that is worth almost $4B, with a staff of over 1000. An unbelievable man and leader. Asked his 3 keys for leaders, he said this: - Be the hardest worker in the room. - Selflessness. Elevate everyone around you. - Humility

If you’re preaching it, you better be practicing it. Consistency builds credibility.

Perfect isn't the goal. Better is.

When you become a better leader, you will be given more responsibility. When you have more responsibility, you will make more money. If you focus on your responsibilities, you will be a great leader. If you focus on your money, you will be a terrible leader.

Control what you can control. Keep your emotions in check. Live the standard, not your situation. Own your response. Forget the last play, play the next play. Leaders can’t just preach it, they must live it and empower others to live it. Be the standard.

Your habits are working for or against you. Your mindset is working for or against you. Your effort is working for or against you. All three are within your control. How you show up is up to you. Live intentionally.

Inconsistency undermines potential. Keep showing up. Keep doing the work. 🪵🪓

As the leader goes, the culture goes. If you want a healthy team, do the work to become a healthy leader. You can’t give what you don’t possess. Lead yourself first.

Greatness isn’t sexy. It’s often boring, repetitive work over a long period of time. The process is the process. You believe in the vision, commit to the process, do the work. Don’t hope for it, earn it. 🪵🪓

Build the culture and the results will come.

Simple skills executed with uncommonly strong discipline looks and feels to everyone else like a superpower. But to the person living that way, there is nothing magical about it. It’s the natural product of disciplined-guided decisions, actions, reflections, and adjustments.

Words don’t tell the truth. Actions do. It’s easy to say you believe something you don’t have to immediately back with action. Actions speak the truth words hide.

The beauty of excellence is that it’s good for you, good for others, and good for the world. No one benefits from you being average, least of all you.

"Discipline means doing the right things at the right time for the right reason."  John Maxwell #QuietTime

Productive people simplify & execute. They refuse to let complexity prevent productive action. Unproductive people complexify & delay. They insist on complexity that justifies delaying execution.

Being offended is a choice that only leads to distraction. Be unoffendable.
