Show Notes

Transcript of the episode

In this episode you’ll learn:

  • We make leadership stick when we partner with and run alongside those we are looking to develop.

  • “Limiting beliefs” automate our actions and block our ability to upgrade a script or adopt a new behavior.

  • Exceptional leaders move past forced compliance to listening with a non-judging curiosity about the beliefs fueling the behavior.

  • Limiting beliefs are like the operating system that behavior runs on.
