Elevate Construction

Ep.140 – Positive Intent


Listen Later

In this episode, Jason and his wife Katie explore one of the most powerful mindset shifts for leaders: assuming positive intent. Through the concept of "skill, not will" from the book Changeable, they unpack why most people are doing their best even when their behavior is frustrating, and how identifying their positive intent allows you to stay in control, find win-win solutions, and avoid getting dragged into the mud.

What you'll learn in this episode:

  • Why most negative behavior is a skill problem, not a will problem
  • How assuming positive intent keeps you in control and out of reactive mode
  • The technique of identifying what someone is trying to accomplish (even when they do it poorly)
  • Why people who seem difficult are often just trying to meet basic needs like significance or connection
  • How this mindset shift frees you from the emotional weight of assuming the worst about people

Stop getting dragged into the mud and start leading from a place of control.
