Aristotle has the answer

“We are what we repeatedly do.”

As a leader, being consistent is key. And compound consistency is where you continually do the little things well—and build on it. Repetition is also how you build your reputation—by showing up regularly.

But just like compound interest, it doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time. And then one day, the rewards start outweighing the effort.

It turns out that small things, when done repeatedly, can create a culture committed to Excellence.
