Victimhood or leadership, is your default reply a symptom of a mindset of can’t, or do you have a mentality of possibility? When someone says, “Here, read this book,” do you shift into can’t or can?
When someone says, “Hey, you know what, I’m amped to run a marathon,” you’ll go, “I can’t,” is that your default setting in your neurobiological hardwiring? Or do you go, “Absolutely,” or, “I’d love to do this?” It’s really, really important, and that is one of the core distinctions of leadership, isn’t it? And I respectfully suggest to you every single day, we don’t only have an opportunity to show leadership without a title, we have a responsibility to do so.
