Personal Mastery
There is a difference between having a set mindset and having a growth mindset. With a growth mindset you can unlock certain aspects of yourself that were previously thought to be written in the genetic code.
Deliberate Practice
The best way to improve. It most be specific, measurable and real time.
Hiring and Firing
Just like we have to evaluate the value of cards and decide which ones stays in our deck and which ones go, we likewise exercise this skill in the workplace when deciding what aspects of our culture or which team members stay or get cut.
Adaptive Leadership
Diagnose the system, come up with interventions (experiments to try), implement, check results, repeat.
Leadership vs. Authority
There is formal authority and informal authority. Who says what and who jumps because of it.
