Setting Standards: The Standards we walk past are the standards we accept

Your life is shaped not just by your goals but by the standards you accept.

At The Triangle Club, we believe in redefining leadership, personal growth, and accountability through intentional standards. Whether in your career, relationships, or self-discipline, the standards you set (or tolerate) determine your trajectory.

In our latest guide, we unpack the leadership principle:

“The Standard you walk past is the standard you accept.”

This powerful mindset shift challenges you to reflect on your current standards and what it’s costing you. Its important because;

🔺 Your own standards matters more than others' expectations
🔺 Tolerating low standards slowly becomes your new norm
🔺 There are essential questions to ask when setting or upholding expectations
🔺 What it takes to meet, raise, and reinforce the standard in yourself and your team
🔺 Why leadership is defined by what you tolerate and what you correct
🔺 The key responsibilities of leaders in maintaining and demonstrating the standard

Whether you lead a team, a business, or your own life your standards become your brand and how the world sees you. You are what you do, not your ambition.

👉 Accepting less means living less.
👉 Elevating your standards means unlocking what you’re truly capable of.
👉 And upholding them means shaping the culture around you.

Let this serve as your reminder: “Standards don’t slip overnight they slide slowly when no one speaks up.” Be the person who raises them and lives them.
