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.’
