If you only lead when it’s convenient, you’re not a leader. You’re a volunteer with a good week.

Showing up for the parts that are fun or visible is easy enough that it proves very little. What people actually watch for is the dull Tuesday, the cleanup, the week you had a lot on. Consistency is most of what the word means, and it is also the part nobody applauds.

Look at the next two weeks and find the moment you would normally skip. Go to that one. One reliable ordinary appearance does more for how people see you than three good speeches.
