Get to know your team members as individuals: Effective leadership involves understanding each team member personally and professionally, fostering trust and open communication by being vulnerable, and recognizing the unique qualities each person brings.
Create a culture open to ideas: Encourage team members to voice their ideas and advocate for themselves. An inclusive environment where everyone feels free to contribute can lead to innovative solutions and enhance team cohesion.
Make trust a central mission: Building and maintaining trust is crucial for navigating challenges and changes. Trust is earned through consistent, open communication and a willingness to understand different perspectives, which strengthens team dynamics over time.

How I Make Habits Stick
by Rahul Chowdhury (9 mins)
The author argues that relying solely on discipline and willpower to build habits is ineffective. Without a clear, personal reason or intrinsic motivation, habits are unlikely to stick.
The author shares personal experiences of failing to maintain a journaling habit multiple times, despite using different methods, due to a lack of a compelling "why" behind the practice.
Establishing successful habits, like fixing a sleep schedule or maintaining a workout routine, requires understanding the deeper, personal reasons behind them, which provides the necessary motivation to sustain the habits long-term.
