I missed Friday’s episode — and instead of ignoring it, I’m modeling what we expect from our staff: ownership and reflection.

In this short Presidents’ Day message, we’re talking about what building leaders can learn from presidential leadership — not about politics, but about presence, resilience, and sustainability.

You may not sit in the Oval Office, but you set the tone for your entire building.

Today’s reminder:

• Leadership is about steadiness, not perfection.
• Your nervous system sets the climate.
• Rest is not weakness — it’s strategy.

As the weather warms up and the sun starts shining, this is your cue to step outside, move your body, reset your energy, and protect your stamina for the long haul.

You don’t have to lead perfectly.
 You just have to keep showing up.

Go lead well this week.
