Leaders develop patterns of behavior. These reflexive behaviors determine your effectiveness as a leader. 

Ineffective behavioral patterns are 

• Unplanned
• Reactive
• Unrehearsed 
• Based on instinct & emotions 
• Rarely thought about 

Effective behavioral patterns are 

• Planned 
• Proactive 
• Rehearsed & practiced 
• Based on best practices 
• Constantly refined 

So why is this important?

• Research suggests that 95% of behavior is unconscious 
• Many leadership instincts are flawed
