1. Above the line vs Below the line leadership - Always lead above the line
    1. Above the line leadership - Open, curious, committed to learning
    2. Below the line leadership - Closed, defensive, committed to being right

15 commitments:

  1. Commitment 1 - Taking radical responsibility

    1. Take full responsibility of your actions vs Blaming others

    2. 5 levels of motivation used by leaders:

      1. Toxic fear: blame, shame, and guillt
      2. Extrinsic motivation: money, title, the corner office, and other perks
      3. Intrinsic motivation: learning, fulfilling purpose, and autonomy
      4. Play, creativity, and expressing our “genius” in the world
      5. Love

      Levels one and two always leave a negative residue, whereas levels three through five don’t. Great leaders learn to motivate using methods that don’t leave a negative residue, so they lead from levels three through five.

  2. Commitment 2 - Learning through curiousity

    1. Every opportunity is chance to grow vs Committing to being right all the time and being defensive.
    2. Self awareness and learning ability create sustained success. Conscious leads really know themselves
