Helping people with their mindsets over the last 8 years has taught me that: -Most people think they have good or optimal mindsets -Most people don't actually know the true quality of their mindsets -Only 2.5% of people are in the top quartile for the four sets of mindsets that I focus on (Growth, Open, Promotion, & Outward) The journey of elevating our mindsets starts with discovering the true quality of our mindsets.

I think a necessary question that we should all seek to answer is: What is my Being Side altitude? I don't think we can ever become the best version of ourselves without coming to clarity on that question and then doing something about it.

The reality is that: -People vary in how simple or complex they think -People who are more complex, can better navigate complexity -We can evaluate how complex we are -We can elevate how complex we are A common challenge that I see leaders face is: They are not complex enough to navigate the complexity of their environment.

Thus, if we want to become our best selves, we need to investigate, awaken to, and upgrade our mindsets.

Most leaders think that to reach a higher gear, they have to "push harder." Actually, the opposite is the case. If we want to get to a higher gear, we have to "let go." This article describes this in greater depth. Read more here: 👉 https://lnkd.in/g5P7wSE4 👈

Most leaders lean on control to get things done. This is because there is a fear of failing, falling short, or having problems. The best leaders lean on context and empowerment to get things done. They actually create space for failure, falling short, or having problems as being part of the journey. The two best books I have read on this are: "No Rules Rules" by Reed Hastings & Erin Meyer "Turn the Ship Around! The True Story of Turning Followers Into Leaders" by David Marquet
