Never High Never Low

Prior to the Detroit Lions vs. Dallas Cowboys football game last night (Dallas sneaked past Detroit 20-19) I heard an interview with Detroit Lions Head Coach, Dan Campbell. In the interview, Campbell said of Lions quarterback, Jared Goff, “He’s never high, he’s never low. He’s always the same.” Campbell made this comment after being asked what kind of leader Goff was. When he said this it gave me pause because the leader that remains consistent in their demeanor and behavior regardless of the circumstances or challenges they face truly is a treasure.

This trait is the leader that remains calm, composed, and rational, even during times of success or failure. They do not let their emotions dictate their actions and are able to maintain a steady and level-headed approach in their decision-making. This consistency can often inspire others and instill confidence in the leader’s ability to lead effectively.
