This fact also has profound implications for how leaders address remote work.  -       The whole purpose of The Four Disciplines is to achieve goals that do not feel as important as “the day job.”  -       If kids have one anchor of self-esteem in their life, they are able to handle the whirlwind and drama of life much more effectively.  -       The enemy of the human soul is not work; it’s futility.  -       The struggle is that as you become more successful as a company, the whirlwind grows and requires more and more.  -       People don’t fear change; they fear uncertainty.  -       Most success comes from putting huge energy into small wins.  -       The most significant jump is moving from leading a team to leading leaders.   LINKS MENTIONED  -       Website: Chris McChesney  -       Book: The 4 Disciplines of Execution: Revised and Updated: Achieving Your Wildly Important Goals  -       Added Value: Tim Harford: Trial, error and the God complex (TEDTalk via YouTube)  -       Added Value:  “Leaders Concerned About Remote Work Should Be Looking at This Metric”  -       Podcast:  2018 Global Leadership Podcast  -       Book: The Truth About Employee Engagement: A Fable About Addressing the Three Root Causes of Job Misery (Patrick Lencioni)    -       Website: Global Leadership Network   THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY:   -        World Vision
