The person who notices the small stuff usually gets trusted with the big stuff.

LEADERSHIP

WHAT THIS MEANS

Attention to detail is read by other people as a promise. If you catch the misspelled name, the chair left out, the thing due Friday that nobody mentioned, you are telling everyone around you that nothing will quietly rot on your watch. Trust gets handed out on that evidence long before anyone announces it, which is why responsibility tends to arrive without a conversation.

Look for one small thing this week that is technically nobody’s job and handle it without narrating it. Fix the label, send the reminder, restock the shelf. Do it quietly enough that it reads as character rather than campaigning.
