Indicators of Leadership

I was driving last night and realized that using your blinker is one of the simplest acts of kindness and leadership. I’ve been thinking a lot about how to be a more thoughtful leader, a better human in general, and just the simple act of clicking my blinker on (and off) while driving is a good place to start. A recent study by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) showed that over 25% of drivers failed to properly use turn signals when turning, and nearly half of all drivers failed to signal before changing lanes. I think putting others first during our day, even through the smallest of interactions like using a turn signal, can have a huge impact in the long run.

Let you turn signal not only be an indicator of your intentions while driving but also the indicator of your intentions to live a more considerate life.
