    The Learning Leader Show

    “It’s not about being good.  It’s about being better.  Be in a constant state of continuous improvement.”

    Show Notes:

    • Commonalities of sustaining excellence:
      • “All management is change management”
      • “What’s made you successful in the past may not be the case in the future.”
      • “How can I learn to be a better leader?’
      • “A constant state of continuous improvement”
      • “You’ve never arrived.”
    • “It’ not about being good.  It’s about being better.”
    • “Focus on getting better, rather than being good.”
    • Growth mindset helps you find enjoyment in what you do
    • “Focus on what you will do, not what you won’t”
    • Willpower — Need to be specific.  Get to a level of specificiaty
    • Make steady progress
      • “Have realistic optimism. I will succeed, but it will be hard.”
    • How to define success?
      • Intrinsic vs extrinsic goals:
        • A connected-ness to other people
        • Autonomy – Do what feels authentic
        • Being effective – Inherently get satisfaction by “I’m making things by making things happen in the world”
        • “Human beings are wired to to want to feel effective” — It creates lasting happiness
    • Balance – Fundamental things stand in our way.  “We all have issues with not being great at everything.”
    • Why don’t we ask others for help when we need it?  The Milgrim subway experiement
    • What does a helper need from you?
      • Must ask and help the helper be successful
    • Why we need to eliminate the phrase “Can I pick your brain?”
      • Just say what you want.  Be direct.
      • Send questions in advance.  Create opportunities for helpers to be effective
    • “When you ask someone for help, you’re giving them the opportunity to feel amazing”
    • Reinforcements – Extra personnel sent to increase the strength of an army or similar force –> Something that makes a behavior more likely
    • Why joining The Learning Leader Circle is a good idea
    • Use the “Get To Know You Document“

    “When you ask someone for help, you’re giving them the opportunity to feel amazing.”
