Episode 30: Leading Yourself
Maxwell’s 5 levels are about growing your influence, (5 levels of leadership) I want to talk about as your position changes. Acknowledge that as we progress there are other skill sets that are vital: resource management, but we’re going to focus on the people side. Foundational Skills: Discipline: Show up on time, do what you say you’d do. Positivity: Pessimists don’t change the world. Resilience: Because circumstances will be difficult and where you learn to not blame circumstances. Desire: Will it be to make an impact or to be known. What is Gained: Internal Standards (Greater than what any boss would put on you) Excellence: You’re good enough is higher than other’s. Personal Development: Not willing to settle in, not waiting for others to develop you. – We don’t have sponsors of education because everyone has access to resources. – Some people need 1-on-1, often I’d rather have a book. Getting the best of their thinking, not casual. – A Note: When you’re “just” leading yourself- take every opportunity that comes your way. If you don’t have kids quit talking about balance. Impact: Fulfilled, but not satisfied. Energy: Flows from personal health.
