Great leaders are a little boring on purpose. Same time, same standard, same energy. Chaos can’t grow in routine.

Predictability is underrated because it looks like nothing is happening. People can plan around someone whose reactions are steady, and a great deal of what becomes drama in a group is really the effort of guessing which version of you will arrive today. Consistency removes the guessing and frees everyone to think about the work instead.

Pick two or three things you will do the same way every week regardless of mood. Hold them even when they feel unnecessary. The dullness is the point, and the people around you will settle noticeably.
