In this episode of The Ross Simmonds Show, Ross delivers a candid message to founders, executives, and team leaders. If you're demanding high performance from your team but not modeling it yourself, the problem starts with you. Ross explores how poor leadership habits affect team culture and performance — and why success begins with self-awareness, accountability, and leading by example.

If you're frustrated with team results, before looking outward, Ross encourages you to look in the mirror. He shares lessons from his own leadership journey and offers practical questions to help you evaluate your leadership habits.

Key Takeaways and Insights:

1. Leaders must model what they expect.

- You can't demand elite output while operating with average habits.

- Culture is a reflection of leadership. If your organization is underperforming, the root may be your own inconsistencies.

- High performance trickles down. Your team won't surpass the standard you set — raise the standard, and the team will follow.

- Introspection before criticism. Ask yourself hard questions about your leadership style and consistency.

- Show your team what preparation looks like. Demonstrate how you lead meetings, deliver presentations, and display urgency.

2. Growth requires investment.

- Leaders must continually invest in themselves to lead their teams effectively.

- Excellence spreads when it's consistently displayed through actions, not just words.
