Nothing about my willpower changed.

The structure changed, and my behaviour followed.

A simple checklist flipped how I approached my day.

And it reminded me of something leaders often forget:

Culture isn’t built by motivation.

It’s built by design.

This week’s article breaks down why small structures change behaviour, and how leaders can use this to build engagement, accountability, and momentum without burning people out.

Comfort isn’t neutral.
It just feels that way, until it starts charging interest.

This week’s Leadership In Focus newsletter looks at a pattern we see constantly with founders and leaders of growing businesses:

Getting used to doing things a certain way.
Carrying the heaviest load yourself.
Assuming your people “know what to do.”

Comfort can feel like stability; but left unchecked, it quietly becomes risk.

In this issue, we explore:

• Why comfort stalls growth before it breaks things

• How overconfidence and habit creep into leadership

• What it really takes to equip your team to carry the future with you

If you’re feeling the weight of “I should be further by now,” this one’s for you.
