“If you don’t believe it, no one else will.”
– General George S. Patton

They know when you’re bluffing.

You can recite all the right words, but if your eyes, body, and heart say otherwise, they’ll know. They don’t follow what you say — they follow what you signal.

Your team reads you like a map. If you hesitate, they’ll second-guess. If you waver, they’ll stall. If you’re uncertain, they’ll drift. But when you show up clear, steady, and sure — they rally.

Conviction breeds cohesion.

Stop worrying about “motivation” and start living your conviction. Your people don’t need a cheerleader. They need a leader whose actions prove he believes in the mission.

They’ll never go all-in if you won’t.
