Leaders need to consider three types of hardwiring – Behaviors, Abilities, Motivations – that work together to describe the unique gifts, talents, and spin that you can bring to work.

Life’s short. Live passionately.

The secret to growing as a leader is that you have to do some inner work, none of which can be done for you. And there are no guarantees. Your personal work is what will ultimately transform your leadership.

The motivation is already inside of you, and it has been trying to get your attention for a long time.

Leadership is a journey that includes four stages of development: 1) copying what you see others doing, 2) seeking out experts, 3) listening to your own hunches and gifts, and 4) becoming a whole leader by blending both external and internal sources.

That doubt you are trying to suppress is a precious gift. It is an invitation to become a better, more integrated, and effective leader than you ever imagined possible.

Most plans or formulas force you to fit into their molds, imposing their structures on you.You can create your own “curriculum”.

You’re a high performer. It’s time to shed the doubt.

Real growth comes only after the dark night of the soul, when they feel they don’t have what it takes and choose to persist, to reflect on themselves, learn from their mistakes, and struggle to apply what they’ve learned.

Personal mission touches into the fundamental ways you operate and your professional and life goals. Developing even a rudimentary sense of your mission helps you navigate the pressures of leading. It acts like a compass, something you can check in on, to see if you’re still on track.
