What do a home inspection and great leadership have in common? More than you might think. Years ago, we began teaching our inspectors a simple lesson: If a smile is contagious, nervousness is infectious. I eventually realized that the same principle applies to every leader. When pressure shows up, your team isn't just listening to your words. They're taking emotional cues from your reaction. The way you show up in difficult moments shapes trust, confidence, and the culture you're building.
