Leaders' actions and words are congruent.
They do what they say.
And sometimes, they do... without saying.

10 SECOND REALITY CHECK
Do your actions match your words?
Or do you talk about something, and "wish" it to come true?
Do you follow through on your promises?

"I have long since come to believe that people never mean half of what they say, and that it is best to disregard their talk and judge only their actions."
--Dorothy Day

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Talking without doing is like "meaning well."
Doing what you say is "doing well."
Isn't it better to talk less, and act more?
You'll be judged more by what you do, than what you say...

"The superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions." --Confucius

SO... WHAT WILL YOU DO DIFFERENTLY?
Check your actions and your words for congruence.
Promise less and deliver more.
Do what you say...

"I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts." --John Locke

PARTING THOUGHT... HMMM
"Actions lie louder than words." --Carolyn Wells

Have a congruent week!
