"Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected."
-Steve Jobs-
Environment is everything.
James Clear wrote, "Environment is the invisible hand that shapes human behavior. Despite our unique personalities, certain behaviors tend to rise again under certain environmental conditions."
This is why it is crucial for whatever environment you are in to be that yardstick of quality.
It matters, and your actions influence those around you for better or worse.
Steve Jobs believed some people aren't used to an environment of excellence.
That is 100% true. These people need to be shown what excellence is. Their actions will change as they experience and accept excellence into their own life through knowing what is accepted and what is not.
They observe this through the leaders who make no exceptions or excuses.
Wherever you are, lead well. Be an example of excellence. Be the yardstick people can measure themselves by.
You'll be amazed at how your actions can change the culture of an entire team, organization, or family.
