Manila, 11 September 2025 — What leadership challenge will you take to build your streak? 

Story

What makes leaders stand out is rarely a single, dramatic moment. Instead, it’s the rhythm of their everyday actions—the way they keep showing up with effective leadership behaviors, time after time. Just like athletes build strength through steady training, leaders build credibility through consistent behaviors. 

In our Grow3Leaders Community, there’s a feature called Building a Streak. Each day you participate, your streak grows. It’s simple, and it taps into a deep truth: the power of consistency. The streak is not just about the number—it’s about the discipline of showing up daily for 15 minutes.

Leadership works that same way. When you make the choice to practice effective behaviors every day, no matter how small, you begin to establish patterns that others can trust. Over time, those patterns accumulate into a reputation, and that reputation defines the leader you are becoming.

Challenge

The temptation is to wait for the big opportunities—the high-stakes meeting, the major speech, or the breakthrough project. But leadership doesn’t live in isolated events; it lives in the steady frequency of everyday actions. Waiting for the big moment means missing the chance to strengthen the small ones.

Think of it like fitness. You don’t get in shape by exercising intensely once a month. You build health by showing up for yourself with healthy routines every single day, even if it’s just a short workout. Leadership operates by the same principle: daily practice matters more than occasional intensity.

Your challenge is to identify and commit to leadership behaviors you practice daily. Our leadership challenges in the Grow3Leaders community are designed to make it easy for you to build your streak. That’s how you grow your leadership and grow more leaders around you.

Question

If consistency is what builds leadership credibility, then the real question is: What leadership challenge will you take to build your streak? What are the daily behaviors that, if repeated every day, will strengthen the trust and impact you want to create?

In the Grow3Leaders community, you get to practice in several leadership challenges. The Workplace Challenge lets you create a positive change together with three effective leadership behaviors you select out of twelve. This challenge is starting as we speak. Meanwhile, the LEADweek Challenge lets you build a strong leader routine for every day of the week. I’m doing that daily. 

And there are others, like the LEADcoach Challenge and the WORLDviews Challenge, and the Trusted Leaders Challenge. We ask you to invite three colleagues to form a Collab and take the challenges together with them in our community. That way, growing your leadership is going to be faster, more effective, and more fun.
