Millie Moment:
When you feel like your team just isn’t getting it, pause before pointing fingers and ask:

“Have I taught the why, the what, and the how?”

Leadership isn’t about doing it all yourself. It’s about showing the way clearly, kindly, and consistently.
Try this: Choose one task your team isn’t doing the way you want, and today, walk them through the why, what, and how out loud. Watch what changes.
