The sentiment behind “treat others how you want to be treated” is good. And sometimes it’s accurate even in the literal sense.
But rephrasing it will help apply it to your band or team or organization…
“Treat others with love and respect, and that’s going to look a little different for everyone.”
This is a difficult thing to do, but you’re the leader so it starts with you. Today.
p.s. I could write an entire book on the times I’ve taken the golden rule literally and had it blow up in my face, while hiding behind it (the golden rule) all the while as my excuse.
