Identity isn’t as fixed as a muscle you build. We often tell ourselves, "I'm just not a…" or "I can or need…" We treat our leadership like it is permanently fixed and we have to live with. When we wait to feel like a different kind of leader before we start acting like one, we stay stuck. We let our current habits dictate our future limits, creating a cycle of frustration. The truth is, you can change your identity. Because action precedes belief. When you want to become someone else, you simply begin behaving consistently with the person you aspire to be: • Want to be a listener? Put your phone out of sight in your next meeting. • Want to be resilient? Pause and reframe your next setback instead of reacting to the threat. • Want to be a trusted guide? Share the map instead of just giving directions. You don't have to wait for your mindset to shift. Eventually, the behavior becomes a habit, the habit becomes a belief, and you simply become who you aspired to be. What is one word that describes the leader you are becoming today?
