Personal habits have a direct impact on professional leadership. Leading the wrong way, lacking integrity, and focusing on the wrong things in personal life can lead to negative leadership outcomes in the public sphere. Habits developed today shape the leader of tomorrow. Leaders should evaluate if their current habits align with the future leader they aspire to be. Reflect on how bad habits may play out in the long run, such as regretting shortcuts taken at work, realizing how a single bad habit can ruin life, or lamenting neglecting personal relationships for work. Assess the direction of personal habits to determine the desired leadership path and necessary habits to cultivate for growth.
