To know more, ask great questions. To achieve more, to get to the top of your career, you must have the courage to go after what you want, to ask for what you want.

You must have the energy to go after what you want. And you must have the faith to go after what you want.

The question is, ‘Do you know what you really want?’ If you know what you want, then go for it. What are you waiting for?

You must, according to Elena and Kim, ‘Look back. Learn from your past decisions.’

‘Look inward. Ensure you are physically and mentally ready to make clearheaded decisions.’

‘Operate with personal consistency.’

‘Take a mind-set of radical accountability.’

‘Get curious and ask questions.’

‘Invest in your relationship with your boss and her boss.’

‘Rock the boat- for the sake of the business results.’

‘Ask for what you want.’

‘Know where stars are needed.’

‘Overinvest in figuring out what you walked into. What you do not know will hurt you.’

Life is a laboratory. Your life is your own laboratory. It is where you carry out your experiments.

It is where you learn how to fall, how to fail. It is where you learn more about yourself.

If you are not doing well, if you are not getting the right results, do not beat yourself up. Instead of beating yourself up, why not go back to your laboratory for more work, for more experiments?

‘Has there ever been a more complex time to lead?’

According to Craig Dowden, ‘Without focusing on self-mastery every day, we cannot achieve our potential or the potential of those we lead.’

‘Leadership starts with our mindset.’

‘Leadership is not just about thinking our way through things. It is about feeling our way as well.’

‘The faster the rate of change, the higher the volatility.’

‘Leadership is about making a difference- not just for ourselves but for others as well.’

‘When we are in growth mindset, feedback is like eating our vegetables. Even if it doesn’t taste great, we recognize and accept it is good for us.’

‘When leaders with growth mindset face a setback, it is a puzzle to figure out rather than an insurmountable obstacle to overcome.’

‘To be an effective leader, it is essential to elevate our awareness of our current mindset, to change it when appropriate, and to recognize how our mindset affects not only ourselves but the people around us.’

‘When the team looks good, the leader looks good.’

‘To be successful as a leader, we must make those around us better.’
