Growth

Life's way too short to be hard on ourselves.

We do the best we can and enjoy just that.

• No comparisons.
• No regrets.
• No massive aspirations.

Just being kind to myself is just fine with me.

Getting to the urgent is what matters. Almost nothing should be urgent in the work a leader does. Yet so often, we are driven away from the important to what seems to be urgent.

There are three 'urgents'

1. Crises - with a modest investment of time, these can be reduced to a trickle
2. Other people's urgent - saying 'no' to some and 'yes' to others (who offer help), will reduce these to a minimum
3. Your choices - when you do unproductive work, this is not important, so yes, you can stop

All withi…

Much is said about the value of a Growth mindset. Each of us has a pre-disposition to Growth or Fixed to a greater or lesser extent.

Growth tends to be valuable as it allows for creativity, Emotional Intelligence and growth in performance.

But if it is not you natural character, you can develop it. And this excellent graphic is a great primer.

Give it a try. Even if you naturally have a greater disposition to Growth, there will be something for you!

Remember, when you are leader, and your boss isn't that great (happens sometimes, right?), what an opportunity to learn what NOT to do in your leadership of your own people.

It might be uncomfortable to experience, but what a chance to learn from others.
