Leadership for Regular People

As a leader, you often face tough decisions under immense pressure. Making decisions is especially difficult when you weigh the options, talk with people you trust, and still don't feel confident in a particular option. To move forward, we must become comfortable with an appropriate level of risk and connect our decisions to our core values.

There are many things in life we can't fully control. If we're not careful, we can default to worry as a false sense of control, even though this doesn't produce a positive impact.

Learning to think like a coach requires you to stop thinking about what you CAN’T control and focus first on what you CAN control. In this episode, you'll hear practical steps on how you can make this mindset shift.

We often compartmentalize topics because it makes them easier to understand, but few things in life are so simple. In reality, we are dynamic, complex beings with personalities that include several facets. When we think about how different aspects of our lives impact each other, we can identify the right problems and find the best solutions.

All time management is pain management (as Nir Eyal taught me in his book "Indistractible"), but that doesn't mean we spend all our time solving the right problems. Thankfully, we can shift our thinking with one simple question.

I've been to New York twice - once for ten hours and once for a full week. As you can imagine, the experiences were quite different. However, reflecting on both trips several years later reveals an important lesson about brainstorming and setting goals.

This may surprise you, but human beings aren’t always logical or rational. However, this doesn’t mean that we can’t grow and develop our natural conflict-resolution skills. As a coach, I love powerful questions that lead to new awareness, so let’s consider five questions we can ask ourselves as conflict arises to sharpen our thinking and effectively manage problems.

Here are the five questions:
1. What do I NOT know about this situation?
2. What opportunity exists here?
3. What values do I want to reflect in my actions?
4. How would somebody I admire address this situation?
5. How do I want to remember this situation later on?
