It's the same process for any skill we're trying to learn or habit we're trying to change. And it takes a lot of concentration and time for the behavior to transition from feeling awkward to feeling comfortable.
In this fifth interview with my business partner Denny Coates, you'll discover why it takes time to ingrain a leadership skill...and think about how this explanation applies to something you're attempting to master.

In case you missed them, you can watch the first four videos here:
#1 – 4 Vital Things Every Leader Must Do
#2 – Why People Usually DON’T Give Their Best Effort
#3 – Leader Skills Are NOT Enough
#4 - Leaders Learn Best ON THE JOB, Not in the Classroom
A P.S., not in the video... You can ingrain habits and patterns unintentionally, even unwanted ones! Anything you do repeatedly can become a hard-wired habit eventually. It's how the brain works. A blessing, and a curse!
