In a 2021 article for Inc., executive coach Marcel Schwantes outlines five red flags of poor leadership. Bad leaders fail to recognize good work, treat employees disrespectfully, communicate poorly, lack integrity, and withhold meaningful, ongoing feedback. The result is predictable: low morale, disengagement, and diminished performance. At its core, leadership is about meeting people’s needs and helping them grow — and when that doesn’t happen, everyone feels the cost.

A powerful reminder that our mindset shapes our day more than our circumstances do. We cannot control every event, but we can choose our response to it. Yesterday is behind us and tomorrow is uncertain, but today is fully in our hands. Choosing joy is not denial of difficulty; it is a declaration of ownership over how we show up in this moment.

Sometimes we make leadership feel bigger than it needs to be. Drew Dudley’s idea of a “lollipop moment” reminds us that leadership is not about titles, grand strategies, or building a legacy. It is about small moments when you help someone feel seen, capable, or less alone. In pharmacy, those moments happen every day. The intern you spent extra time mentoring. The technician whose idea you championed in a meeting. The patient you paused with because you sensed they were overwhelmed. We often never see the ripple effect of those moments. But that is leadership. Full stop. Hand out those lollipops generously.

This quote, often attributed to Timothy J. Keller, reminds us that leadership is not about titles, platforms, or recognition. It is about posture. The most effective leaders are willing to serve in the small, unseen moments, building trust long before they seek influence. Service is not beneath leadership. It is the foundation that makes leadership possible.

Deadlines do not just fill your calendar. They trigger your nervous system. Research shows that even certain workplace words can spike heart rate, and it is no surprise the word deadline, with roots in the Civil War, sends your brain into threat mode. The stress you feel is not a personal failure. It is biology. Try three small shifts this week. Change the word to due date, question the urgency, and plan early to reduce last minute pressure.

Don’t coast into the weekend. Close the loop. Send the email. Make the call. Clarify the next step. Strong finishes create powerful starts, and momentum belongs to those who build it on purpose.

Gratitude costs nothing but it changes everything. When we make it a habit to say “thank you,” sincerely and without expectation, we strengthen relationships and build a culture of appreciation. The simple act of recognizing others has a ripple effect, creating connection, trust, and positivity. The more we truly appreciate the people and moments around us, the richer our lives become.

The future isn’t just something that happens to us, it’s something we shape with the choices we make today. Every decision, conversation, and act of courage plants a seed for what’s ahead. When we focus forward with intention and hope, we create a life we’re proud to step into. Keep looking ahead — that’s where your impact is waiting.

On Presidents Day, we’re reminded that the strongest leaders aren’t focused on applause, they’re focused on impact. As Harry S. Truman demonstrated, progress happens when ego steps aside and service steps forward. Leadership rooted in humility has the power to move people, organizations, and even nations forward.

Big transformation rarely comes from one big moment. It’s built in the quiet, daily choices no one else sees. If you want a different life, start by adjusting one habit in your routine and commit to it consistently. Your future is being shaped by what you practice every single day.
