Persistence in leadership

You take initiative and keep pushing until it's done.

In leadership

• You deliver on what you promise, and that gives your team a clear reference point.
• You push work through to the end, even after the first enthusiasm has faded.
• Your pace sets the standard for what your team sees as a good day's work.

What to keep an eye on

• You may expect everyone to match your pace and read other styles as lack of commitment.
• Doing it yourself so it's on time takes learning opportunities away from the team.

A first practice

Hand over a deliverable

Pick a task you would do faster yourself and give it to someone with a deadline and one check-in.
