I used to think leadership came with a title. Until I saw something different firsthand. When I started working at a credit union, I expected leadership to come from the top—the C-suite, the VPs, the ones with the authority. But what stood out to me were the hidden leaders.

Let’s talk about habits. Over my 42-year career, I have picked up a few good habits, and I continue to try to improve them each day. Habits are like discipline.
