Painters who do the inside of the closet door are the ones you hire again.

LEADERSHIP

WHAT THIS MEANS

Anyone can be careful where the inspection happens. What tells you about a person is the part of the job nobody was ever going to look at, because there their own standard is the only thing holding the line. Work done well out of sight is not about praise. It is a habit that runs the whole way through.

Find the closet door in whatever you are doing this week. It might be the notes nobody reads, the corner of a room no guest will see, the last question on a form. Do that part properly once and watch what it does to the rest.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH

Where do you do good work nobody will ever inspect?
