Leaders drift from their best behaviors and don't recover, so their teams do too. Real leadership development isn't about information, it's about installing new habits through modeling and reinforcement. Without recognizing your own drift, you can't expect your team to change theirs.
We drift and we're all going to drift. So failure denotes this, oh crap, everything's falling. I really messed up. Can I come back from that? Drift is something that we're going to commonly experience, right? But if our behaviors as leaders are not exactly what they should be, or we don't recover from our drift because they'll not always be what they should be. And if we don't recover from drift, why would we expect our teams or those around us to recover from drift, right? Think about that for a second, because this isn't— the whole idea behind everything we're doing in all of these sessions is not just to give you more content. Content's a part of it, but it's to give what we consider— I keep calling installation, which is actually changing, uh, behavior or a set of behaviors.
