Here's what all 3 of these moments have in common. They're not about charisma or genius. They're about the patterns. Leaders either create patterns of trust, collaboration, and follow-through, or they let unhelpful patterns take over by default. So ask yourself, when was the last time you actually heard what wasn't being said in the room? When did you last invite input early before the plan was locked? When did you make sure everyone knew exactly what they were accountable for and why it mattered? High-performing teams aren't born, they're built one leadership pattern at a time. Which pattern are you reinforcing today? If you wanna uncover the patterns you might be missing, take my free leadership superpower and roadblock assessment at susandrum.com.
