Consistency Isn’t Sexy

"Predictability, dependability, and consistency: these three qualities ensure that our leadership is reliable and motivates people to place their confidence in us. Our effectiveness as leaders is built on trust." Gayle Beebe

Consistency isn’t a fun thing to do or talk about- it isn’t sexy like transformation and leadership! However, when you truly understand the power behind consistency, especially compounding consistency, then you can begin to enact real change in the world.

• How are you consistent as an employee? Does your boss see you doing your tasks on a consistent basis? Can she/he count on your predictability? Or do you bring drama wherever you go?
• How consistent are you as an employer? Do your people see you as dependable? Do you do what you say you’re going to do? When do you not do what you promise and why?
• Are you consistent as a volunteer? Do your team leaders feel that you are steady and trusted or that you’re going to ‘flake out’ on them at any time?

Your answers to these questions mean something. If I were to examine your answers, I could tell you whether you have buy-in from your team or not and what kind of leader you are.

If you were to rate yourself on each of your roles, 1-10 with 1 being low, how predictable, consistent, and dependable you are… what would your numbers be and why? What evidence do you have for that number?

Make a plan to work on this part of your character today because your people are counting on you!
