LEADERSHIP INSIGHTS
- Achievement is central to our lives—earning is important, but who we are—who we become—is what will really help us change our circumstances.
- Be aware of the mental models you use. Be conscious about how you are thinking.
- High-performance organizations incorporate reflection into what they do.
- Reflect throughout the day about your performance over the last few hours. Schedule a few specific times throughout the day to do this.
- Always be aware of what you can and can’t control and allow that to determine where you prioritize your action.
- Create a macro to-do list and create a micro to-do list. The former are things you need to get done in the longer-term; the latter are things you need to get done that day.
- Identify the top three things you need to get done during each day.
- Value and monitor your enjoyment throughout the day.
- Always consider the long-term impact of your activities. Most things can be done at an 80% level.
- Allocate time to an activity and limit yourself to that time frame.
QUESTIONS TO INSPIRE US TO ACTION
- What is some lesson, saying, or experience that continues to influence your leadership to this day? Getting fired from first job without knowing why—learning the importance of communicating well as a leader.
- Use three descriptors to finish this sentence: “A leader is…” Clear, kind, and strong.
- What is a question that leaders should be asking either themselves or others? How can I get better?
- What book would you recommend to leaders? What Got You Here Won't Get You There by Marshall Goldsmith
- If you could get every listener to start doing something THIS week to help them be a better leader, what would it be? Deposit in people’s emotional bank account. Let people know when people have done something good rather than just when they’ve done something bad.
- As a general life principle, is it better to ask “why?” or “why not?” Equal. They give different answers. “Why not?” tends to give a daring answer, and “why?” often provides a defensive answer. They need to be blended together.
