In this episode Steve and Keith discuss:

• Consistency over intensity 
• Empathy and excellence 
• The first step to being a great leader
• Embracing discomfort in order to grow

Key Takeaways: 

• Choose to have consistency more than intensity. You don’t have to do big leaps just to get to your goal, you only have to keep stepping forward. As long as you’re moving, you’ll get there. 
• We must make sure that our workplace culture rewards excellence while keeping the human element in the equation and never focusing solely on performance. 
• The first thing that a leader has to do in order to be great is to assess themselves and truly know themselves, their tendencies, biases, and what makes them unique. 
• Trying out things that are uncomfortable produces growth. Ask yourself and your team what each of you would like to do to get uncomfortable in order to grow. 

"Telling someone the truth is the greatest show of love that you can give.” - Keith Canter
