It pays to consider what you could have done to get to the point of becoming excited sooner.
Consider the last time your boss (or a colleague if you are the boss), came up with a new tactic to hit the business goals. You’re jazzed. It sounds smart and you’re excited to tackle it.
The common manager proceeds forward, but the aspiring leader? Don’t you think they should have been the one to come up with the tactic?
I won’t say becoming a remarkable leader is easy but one practice to getting there is to think about what will get you (and others) excited.
If you’re just checking your task list off, focusing on the mundane, the safe, the stuff that doesn’t excite, you’re hiding.
(To clarify: not that a leader quits that stuff just to do what is exciting but they carve time to ideate what will excite)
