There's nothing worse than not being on time. And yes, I'm German, so I am punctual when it comes to being on time. But I think there are a lot of things to that, not just being punctual. Being on time means also being predictable. So if people know that you show up when you tell you will show up, and you will help someone, and you are on time with your help, it's more predictable.
If you're a manager, it's super important to be predictable in how you interact with other people, but also being on time, staying true to who you are in your leadership career. Being on time has many, many different facets, but I think it's really for all of us standing up and looking into how do we want to show up.
