In leadership, small things often make a big difference. In this episode, Michael and Christian explore how attention to detail can elevate quality, build trust, and reinforce credibility.

They discuss why detail orientation isn’t about perfectionism, but about knowing when accuracy matters. Through stories and reflections, they show how the way you do one thing often reflects how you do everything—and how high standards can become a leadership habit..

Some key takeaways from this episode:

• Why attention to detail is a mindset, not a personality trait.
• How detail orientation builds trust, credibility, and performance.
• The difference between preference and competence in handling detail.
• How focusing on quality in one area improves overall habits and outcomes.
• Why leadership requires knowing when—and where—details truly matter.
• Leading with care means paying attention to what others overlook. When you focus on what matters, others notice.
