Faithful at the register today is training for whatever you’re called to run tomorrow.

LEADERSHIP

WHAT THIS MEANS

Responsibility scales from what you already handle. Whatever you are doing now, however small the register seems, is where the habits are being set: accuracy, patience with people, showing up when it is dull. Nobody grows into a different character when the role changes. They bring the one they practiced.

Treat the current job as preparation rather than as a delay before the real thing. Do the small work carefully, particularly on the days it feels beneath you. What you are building is not a record for someone to read, it is the person who will hold whatever comes next.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH
