“Pay attention to what’s in front of you — the principle, the task, or what’s being portrayed.” Marcus Aurelius

This is a theme we have talked about many times already: you are what you consistently do. Your character is forged by your decisions and actions — one at a time. Marcus would remind himself daily, that today might be his last, that this task might be his last. I love this Ryan Holiday quote: “Here lies Dave, buried alive under a mountain of unfinished business”

The way you do anything and everything will transpire to your team. The first element of being a good leader is to build trust with each member. Would you trust someone that slacked on his tasks openly, or never did what he or she said they would do? No. Would you trust that person if that person were you? Also not.
