Start at the simplest of building blocks. Ignore the symptoms, find the cause, and find the root cause. Being there. It won’t be the popular choice, it will be the needed choice. It’s not the easiest one to make, but it is the one that everyone needs.

I guarantee you will never go wrong if you lead with your team first. There might be struggles. There might be ups and downs. There might be days you shake your head and wonder why you are doing it. But you will never regret it. Ever.

Otherwise, sit, complain, stew, grumble, sulk – resolve yourself to do that instead (but you can do better).
