Realising I didn't listen, because I was too busy getting my point across
Hi {{ first_name | default: "there" }},
Last week I named the skill most leaders never learn on the job. This week I got specific, four ordinary moments that reveal when it's missing, on a completely normal Tuesday.

None of them make you a bad leader. They're habits built under pressure that worked well enough, for long enough, that nobody questioned them. I know because I've caught myself in at least one.

Watch this week's Take 5 as a mirror, not a scorecard. You might recognise yourself in one of the four, and that's exactly the point.
?
REFLECTION QUESTION
“Which of the four moments do you recognise in yourself, not to feel bad about, just to notice?”

THIS WEEK'S TIP
Before you explain something again, pause and ask what's actually landed so far.
