Without a doubt, one of the hallmarks of successful men and women in business is their ability to be consistent, both at work and in their personal lives. Creating a steady cadence in life allows us to be less stressed, more productive, and to experience a high level of contentment and success year in and year out. While cultivating consistency is not easy, it is an incredible skill that is vital to reaching your full potential.
But what does it mean to be consistent? Is it merely delivering the same quality of service day in and day out? Is it the ability to present a true version of yourself while at work and also while at home? Is it gritty, focused discipline that does not turn back from goals once they have been set? In all honesty, consistency is all of those things and so much more.
Your trustworthiness, your business reputation, your relationships – they all hinge on consistency. A life lived with dependability will be marked with success and accolades. A life that is poorly managed and does not adhere to a code of structure and consistency will quickly devolve into stress and disorganization, both of which are detrimental to the success and strength of a company.
Consistency allows you to accept and provide accountability
A healthy workplace is one that has a solid culture of accountability and collaboration. As people, we work best when we feel safe, heard, valued, and challenged; if standards of success and expectations are kept consistent, it is easy to know if you are living up to the expectation set before you or not. Otherwise, it can be confusing and frustrating trying to discern whether or not you are doing a good job.
