- What do leaders who sustain excellence do? They have the ability to be present for an extended period of time. They are here now. They live a life that creates a sustainable presence.
- They are fully present. Be here now. Fully here. This makes you available for this creative moment.
- Play the long game. Excellent leaders play the long game. "Live a life that creates sustainable presence."
- Space and Place: It's important to know your soul's home:
- For Jim: Northern Michigan. Quiet, still, simple, in nature... "It's recharging for me."
- Lead and live intentionally to get to your flow state.
- Ask: What is it that creates the most "alive-ness" in you?
- Do an energy audit. Look at your calendar for the last week. What events make your energy go up, stay neutral, or go down?
- Maximize for people and events that make your energy go up. "Populate your life with what you love."
- Are you willing to be fully alive? What are you willing to risk to make that happen?
- Get rid of energy downers. You can do that in 3 ways.
- Dump it,
- Delegate it
- Do it differently
- Responsibility – By me: I commit to taking full responsibility for the circumstances of my life, and my physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. I commit to support others to take full responsibility for their lives.
- I have to = Victim mindset
- I choose to = Ownership mindset
- To me = At the effect of other things. Outside my locus of control.
- By me = Inside. I am the cause of the experience. Radical responsibility. How am I causing the experience?
- Josh Waitzkin - Make weather what it is. Play in the rain.
- Curiosity is everything as a leader.
- The opposite of curiosity is always needing/wanting to be right.
- Deconstruct all the places where you want to be right.
- Most of it stems from fear. There are three fears:
- Approval
- Control
- Security
- Curiosity - I commit to growing in self-awareness. I commit to regarding every interaction as an opportunity to learn. I commit to curiosity as a path to rapid learning.
- Candor - I commit to saying what is true for me. I commit to being a person to whom others can express themselves with candor.
- Accountability and Responsibility: Responsibility is not something that can be assigned, it is something that has to be taken. Responsibility lives in the world of integrity and impeccable agreements. Speak truth in love.
- “We often describe unconscious leaders as reactive. They react from a “story” about the past or an imagined future, and their personality, ego, or mind takes over.”
