Be ambitious about your character too. “Kind under pressure” is a real goal.

LEADERSHIP

WHAT THIS MEANS

Character can be set as a target in exactly the way a skill can. We tend to treat kindness as a trait you either have or do not, when behaviour under pressure is trainable: people get better at not snapping, at staying fair when tired, at keeping their voice level when it counts, by deciding to and then practising. Naming it makes it measurable. Pressure is simply the condition it has to work in.

Pick one specific version for this month. No sarcasm when you are tired, say. Then notice the moments you nearly slipped, because that is what progress looks like before it becomes reliable.
