You know that feeling when you walk into a room and instantly know who's going to irritate you? Or when feedback makes your body tense before your brain even processes the words? That's not intuition. That's your Leadership Lens at work. Today I'm pulling back the curtain on the invisible filter that's making your decisions before you even realize it, and why this is the real reason all those leadership books aren't fixing what you thought they would.
💬 "Most leaders spend their whole careers trying to change what they're looking at instead of adjusting how they're seeing it."
Ready to stop managing your lens and start mastering it?
➡️ The Reed Hastings story at minute 8 - How the Netflix CEO almost destroyed the company because his lens was "I'm smarter than everyone" and what shifted when he finally changed it. This is the pattern I see in every executive who's stuck.
This week, notice your physical reaction BEFORE your brain processes feedback. When someone challenges you in a meeting, pause and ask: "Is this my lens or is this actually happening?" Track what you discover. Your patterns will shock you.
"What criticism from my past am I still hearing in today's conversations? How is my 20-year-old lens affecting my current leadership?"
If this spoke to you, I’d love for you to:
Thank you for being here, Friend. You are capable, you are seen, and you are ready to step into your calling. Choose joy until joy chooses you! 💛
