What did we learn this week?

3 visuals to get you to see things differently.

Why?

“Change the way you see things, and the things you see will change.”

What You Tolerate, You Teach

Poor behaviour left unchallenged becomes the standard. As leaders, we set the tone, what we walk past, we endorse. Whether it’s negativity, blame-shifting, or lack of accountability, turning a blind eye erodes trust and culture.

It’s our job to step in early, be direct, and reset expectations. It’s not about being harsh, it’s about being consistent and fair. Your team deserves a high-performing environment. Don’t let one person bring the whole standard down.

Overthinking Kills Momentum

Spending 10 hours thinking and just 1 hour doing is a trap. Analysis matters, but it won’t solve real problems without action. Progress comes from shipping, testing, and learning.

Get just enough clarity to move, then iterate. Waiting for perfect answers delays growth and buries momentum. Encourage your team to act with intent, not perfection. Most lessons come from doing, not debating. Shift the ratio. Less theorising, more delivering. That’s how you win.

Consume Less. Apply More.

Reading without action is entertainment. Real growth comes from reading, reflecting, and applying. If you’re consuming book after book, podcast after podcast, but changing nothing, you’re just collecting knowledge, not building wisdom. Take notes. Write down one key idea. Then implement it. Leaders grow through doing, not just knowing. Your team will notice what you apply, not what you read. Turn insight into impact, and make your learning count.
