Mind the Gap!
Is there a gap between what you say matters and what you do?
None of us is perfect but most successful leaders align their stated beliefs and daily activities.
For leaders, credibility is gained or lost through your daily example.
Effectiveness increases when your actions align with your priorities.
Mind the gap!
