 Consistency in leadership means that you maintain the same values, standards, and principles even when it's difficult or unpopular. When leaders maintain consistency within their behaviors and character, they signal to their team that they can be trusted and relied upon. Developing trust between the leader and the rest of the team fosters a productive and psychologically safe work climate where people are motivated and more willing to adapt to change or to innovate. Similarly, organizations are wise to provide a foundation of consistency for leaders to stand upon and leverage. Consistency in organizations mean that policies, doctrine, and instruction align with the practice processes and language shared at all levels. Just as individuals and teams benefit from a climate of trust fostered by their leader's consistency, units and departments are more productive and efficient when the organization's culture depicts trustworthiness associated with consistency among their policies, practices, and messaging. As leaders, how intentional are you at demonstrating consistency? What role are you playing in assessing and addressing inconsistencies within your organization? We expect consistency from our team members and their performance, therefore we must demand it of ourselves and promote it within our organization. Lead well this week.
