It is easy to not understand what makes you successful at something. People tend to think that what makes you successful is the fancy stuff. It's this my special joke or my special clothes I have. It's the way that I always leave office at 3.30, whatever it is. And it is my job to remind them that on average, what makes you good is doing the basics.
People run into this trouble that they don't like being uncomfortable. There's this feeling that it must be the wrong thing I'm doing. But it's not most of the times it can be the right thing. Just need to go through the uncomfortable part, right?
