Role models are complicated. So are we. Borrow the Trait is not about worshipping heroes or pretending any person is perfect. It is about extracting one useful behavior and trying it.
Take the courage. Leave the ego.
Take the discipline. Leave the damage.
Take the imagination. Leave the chaos.

The Trait Card
What to copy, what not to copy, and the main lesson.
The Practice Card
One small action to try during the month.
