What separates good teams from great ones? In this episode, we break down a powerful idea: "Good teams have rules. Great teams have standards."

Rules are important—they create structure and prevent failure. But they’re external, enforced, and often focused on the bare minimum. Standards, on the other hand, are internal. They’re lived, not listed. They reflect the best of what a team believes, expects, and consistently delivers—especially when no one’s watching.

Listen in as we explore the shift from compliance to commitment, from doing enough to doing your best. Because rules might get you through the day, but standards? They’ll define your legacy.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

• The key difference between rules and standards
• Why rules are necessary—but not enough
• How standards elevate performance, culture, and accountability
• Real-world examples of what standards sound like in action
• Questions every team should be asking to move from average to exceptional

🛠️ Action Step: Ask your team (or yourself): “What do we want to be known for?” “What do we expect from ourselves when nobody’s watching?” Use the answers to begin defining your team’s internal standards.

📌 Perfect For:

• Team leaders and managers
• Coaches and educators
• Startups and high-performance teams
• Anyone ready to move from good to great
