Beingaleader means you need to be the cultural thermostat for your team. Thermostat. Not thermometer. You are not the gauge of the temperature. You set the temperature.
It is way to easy to be the thermometer. Letting everyone else set the tone. Reacting. Letting others set the mood or the expectations. But Beingaleader is about setting it not just following what you see. Not reactive. But proactive.
When you lead a team, they should be looking to you for the values and culture and the responses that they should exhibit. It’s important that you speak it. That you teach it. And that you live it. Everyone needs to see that it’s real and that they should follow suit in how they respond. That’s how you know if everyone is a cultural fit for your team.
Consistency. Resolve. Measured tone. Stress relief. All are ways to set the temperature vs. simply reacting to it. If you are not leading this way then you are allowing circumstances to dictate how your team functions rather than dictating to the circumstances.
Beingaleader means you need to be a thermostat. Set the tone today.
