Great leadership is not just about skills and knowledge, but also about mindset. Uncover the unique mental frameworks that distinguish exceptional leaders, shaping their decisions, actions, and ultimately, their impact on organizations and teams.
Developing the right mindset
A leader acts with intention and purpose to reach their intended goal and inspires everyone across and down their food chain to do the same.
- Leaders who do this exceptionally well understand that they need to systemize a process that can be followed for it to be successful at all levels of the corporate structure.
Make yourself vulnerable
To be a leader that people want to follow, you must be as comfortable being a mentee as you are being a mentor
- Let go of your ego and allow yourself to be seen to be vulnerable in front of your employees so that they know that you are inviting them into the decision-making process
Fixed mindset versus growth mindset
We are pre-programmed to an extent, but with training and skills, we can change so that when we are faced with a challenge, we are better suited to take it on rather than run from it.
- Approaching challenges with a growth mindset means seeing opportunities with excitement rather than the overwhelm you would experience in a fixed mindset.
Personal versus corporate mindset
Bringing a mindset to your work that is beneficial for everyone requires you to dig deep into the things that are affecting your personal life.
- When emotional blockages are cleared, and the whole person is happy in every aspect of their life, they are more productive, innovative, and creative.
Money mindset
Wage is just a number, and this number does not define your worth as a person or a professional
- Believing that you are only as good as your salary is a sure-fire way to lead you down a path of self-sabotage whereby you will convince yourself that you’re not important enough to suggest innovative and game-changing ideas
