You set the tone

Tone

You set the tone. What you do, how you act, how you react, people follow your lead.

If you’re late for every meeting … so is everyone else.

If you’re always slightly underprepared … so is everyone else.

If you cover up your mistakes … so does everyone else.

If you fail to give the credit … so does everyone else.

Except the people who can’t live like you.

They find another home. One that fits.

Or …

If you always start on time … so does everyone else.

If you always do your homework … so does everyone else.

If you open your vulnerability … so does everyone else.

If you always put brilliance in the spotlight … so does everyone else

Except the people who can’t live like you.

They find another home. One that fits.

So …

Work out what you want.

Set the tone for that.

Skippy strategy: Work out what you want, model those behaviours.
