Leading your Inner Circle
To me, I always think, “I lead my family, my friends, and my co-workers around me.” I don’t lead thousands of people; I know that we can only manage so many relationships, so I try to focus on the ones that are closest to me. If I can teach those people how to care for the people in their charge, then my job as a leader is to pass that knowledge on.
That’s how I approach leadership today. It’s
Who’s in my immediate circle of influence?
What can I teach them?
How can I teach them?
How can I be the leader that they hope that I would be so that when they run into a tough situation, not only do they not feel embarrassed or ashamed or scared to speak up and say “I don’t have the answers,” but they’re willing to speak up and say, “I need your help”?
What is a growth mindset?
A person who has a Growth Mindset is somebody who is open to learning and improving their skill sets, while somebody with a fixed mindset believes that they’re born with a certain set of skills; they can’t improve upon those skills so they spend their lives measuring those skills and competing against each other, trying to define what they can do, but believing that there’s a limit to it.
In business and in life, we can easily be fooled into thinking that we are what we create for ourselves and we are nothing more.
The Five Pillars of Growth
For me, to make things actionable, I actually have five pillars of growth mindsets, and they’re based on five of the best scientific books.
Five Pillars of Growth:
- Understanding Why You Do What You Do
- Defining Happiness in Your Life
- The Ripple Effect
- Critical Mistake Analysis
- The Power of Identity
