Quotes
“We’re ultimately trying to change leadership behavior. And if you want behavior change that sticks, you often have to change the mindsets that drive that behavior: whether those mindsets are outdated leadership paradigms, unrealistic expectations about yourself or others, or just plain false assumptions.”
“The weekly Do-Discuss-Document cycle: Do a bite-sized developmental activity on the job, discuss it in your peer group that week, and document key insights and lessons learned.”
“This ‘knowing-doing gap,’ or the difficulty us humans seem to have in actually doing what we know we should, both frustrated and fascinated me.”
