‘Whether in the arts, sports, sciences, or leadership, early exposure cultivates mastery of skills.’

‘The evolved leader blends the ideology of one’s true self with the well-grounded practicality that enables them to accomplish the mission.’

‘Evolved leaders must have the agility to assess each audience or individual with whom they interact and adapt their persona, while never being untrue to their own core values.’

‘The evolved leader never approaches an issue with an intractable position of certainty.’

‘A core skill of evolved leadership is the ability to ask questions that enable others to provide comprehensive, well-thought-out answers based on logic and reasoning.’

‘Never respond to a challenge with a statement. Always ask a clarifying questions.’

‘The evolved leader seeks truth over comfort.’

‘Just as companies create operating principles and value statements that are meant to endure through all types of change, so too should evolved leaders implement value protocols for themselves and their teams.’

‘Don’t sit safely blending into the camouflage.’

‘Don’t default to the inertia of your comfort zone.’

‘Require every criticism to include a recommendation.’

‘The art of meta-leadership allows you to be far better than competitors at seeing what is true and what isn’t.’

‘We use shortcuts to reduce uncertainty and make decisions faster, but they also make us more prone to error.’

‘The brilliant future we imagine is unattainable if we insist on guarantees of perfection.’

‘Leaders needn’t be in the weeds– but they can’t abide tactics that are disconnected from strategic direction.’

‘Leaders need expert advice, but it should not carry undue weight.’

‘People who aren’t adaptable will find success in some situations but will belly flop in others.’

‘Blaming others, or ourselves, for failure doesn’t teach us how something happened.’

‘Even intelligent, knowledgeable, experienced people fall into the trap of using either analysis or synthesis as a default.’

‘We need goals and actions- but we do better when they’re connected, and when our actions give us a glimpse of success.’

‘Great leaders use wisdom to help them discern what knowledge is needed in what circumstance.’

‘Deconstruction is the act of taking something apart while retaining the component parts.’
