M-M-M | Leading with Attention

One Reflection, One Refraction, One Ripple. Clarity To-Go.

November 3, 2025

Welcome to the Monday Morning Mirror - your weekly pause for clarity.

Every week deserves a moment of clarity. The Monday Morning Mirror is a pause at the start of your week to see yourself more clearly, shift your angle of vision, and send forward a ripple of purposeful action.

Each issue includes three parts:

• One Reflection — an original insight or story
• One Refraction — a quote or perspective from another lens
• One Ripple — a question or action to carry into your week

Simple, memorable, and consistent — delivered every Monday to help you reflect, reframe, and ripple forward with purpose.

REFLECTION

Leaders are stewards of collective attention. Where they focus, others follow.

Every day, we choose where to invest our Units of Attention (UOAs), sometimes wisely, sometimes not. We pour them into conversations, into decisions, into the moments that could define momentum.

Intention may set the target, but what people experience, what they see, is where we spend our UOAs.

This is why you may catch yourself asking, “Why is this leader focused on that?”

Attention is contagious. It’s how cultures are shaped, priorities are clarified, and trust is built.

REFRACTION

“A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.”
— John C. Maxwell

RIPPLE

Notice what those around you are paying attention to.
Is it aligned with your shared intention or diffused by distraction?

Reclaim your focus.
Redirect the gaze of your team toward what truly matters.

Leadership begins with where you place your gaze.
