For Leaders, Every Day Is Showtime

Just like a performer on stage, leaders are under the ever-watchful eye of an audience, The audience constantly makes judgments about the leader's performance based on what the leader says and does. In effect, leaders step on stage every morning.

They should begin the day, therefore, with the outlook of an actor or actress in their dressing room, making preparation for the curtain to rise. Getting ready for the lights to go up. Setting their focus on s singular objective: being at their very best when it's showtime.

For leaders, every day is showtime. And they should approach their day accordingly. If they were literally going on stage, they would strive to show the world the very best version of who they are. Great leaders do nothing less on a daily basis.

This episode maps a number of parallels between performers on stage and leaders fulfilling their role. Both play to an audience that can be quite critical at times. And they can't always determine whose eyes are on them at a given moment. It therefore behooves performer and leader alike to be the best version of themselves when its showtime.
