–Below is a leadership bullet from Tom’s rifle named Shot–
IT’S A PLAY ON WORDS, but you have got to have good habits. It’s true for marksmen who fired me up…successfully. You see they developed through reflective practice better, then better, ways of shooting. Years later, Rudy, my top marksman, a habit multiplier, would pick up a rifle and shoot the head off a pin.
Okay leaders, do you want to get better at leading? Of course. Consider this, as J. Clear writes in Atomic Habits, 1% better for 37 years makes one 37% better in time. Fancy that. Try 1% for 20 years, or 15. You are good already; you have the designation of leader. But 15% better in 15 years‽ Accumulate good practices—habits, that is. Do something right again and again, and don’t give ground. Presto: you’re a genius, an executive, a … big-time leader!
