Consistency
Poor leaders move the goalposts after the play; great leaders move the play only when the goalposts must move.
More on Consistency
- Weak leaders change instructions after the work; strong leaders change the work only when the instructions truly must change.
- Don't change the destination because you changed your mind; change your mind only when the destination truly must change.
- If your team can't trust your decisions, they won't commit to your direction.
- A leader who constantly changes direction doesn't create flexibility; he creates hesitation.
