You’ll pick up the habits of whoever teaches you. Choose teachers you’d be proud to sound like.

LEADERSHIP

WHAT THIS MEANS

Teaching transmits more than content. You absorb the pacing, the phrases, the way a person handles being wrong, the things they treat as obvious and the things they treat as sacred. Years later you catch yourself using a sentence and realize whose it was. That transfer happens whether or not anyone intends it, which makes the choice of who you learn from a quiet but real decision.

Look at who you have been listening to most this month, feed included. Ask whether you would be glad to think like them in ten years, and dilute the ones you would not.
