Remember Pig Pen from Charlie Brown—the character surrounded by a constant cloud of dust?
Pig Pen behavior in leadership shows up, more often than we think:
- Showing up late to meetings
- Constantly talking about how overwhelmed you are
- Bringing negative energy into the room
- Avoiding decisions that others are waiting on
- Engaging in gossip
That “Cloud” doesn’t just stay with the leader—it spreads to the team.
Strong leaders do the opposite.
They project calm confidence.
They bring clarity, not chaos.
The create stability, not stress.
