šŸ’” 1 BIG Idea:

Leadership isn’t just about the decisions you make—it’s about the responsibility you take. Every action, tone, and message you deliver creates ripples through your team, shaping culture, morale, and results. When you lead with awareness and accountability, you transform your impact from accidental to intentional.

āœ… 4 Ways to Apply This:

  • Recognize the choices you’re making and how they affect your team—even in subtle ways.
  • Reflect on whether those choices align with your Core Values and the culture you want to build.
  • Respond by adjusting your leadership with purpose, humility, and clarity.
  • Model accountability by owning your outcomes and inviting growth—not blame.

ā“ 3 Questions to Ask Yourself:

  • When was the last time I took full responsibility for a leadership decision?
  • Am I creating a culture of blame, fear, or silence—or one of trust and growth?
  • What kind of ripple effect do I want my leadership to create?
