You cannot lead anyone until you stop blaming everyone.
THREE QUOTES
"There are no bad teams, only bad leaders. " Jocko Willink
"Set your house in perfect order before you criticize the world. " Jordan Peterson
"Everything rises and falls on leadership. " John C. Maxwell
THOUGHTS
Every struggling team has a story about why. The requirements were unclear. The vendor slipped. The other department dropped the ball. Some of it is even true. Willink's point, learned the hard way leading SEALs, is that the leader owns all of it, including the parts he did not directly control.
FROM THE WORD
"First take the log out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the splinter from yourbrother's eye. " Matthew 7:5 (CSB)
BOTTOM LINE
Your influence starts where your excuses end.
ACTIONS
1. Write down one situation
For anyone who leads, with or without a title
Build the discipline, ownership, and habits that make everything else possible.
Lead your team, your projects, and your peers with more clarity and less blame.
Bring the same intention home, where your influence matters most.
