Ryan Gottfredson argues that leadership isn't about doing the right things—it's about being the kind of person others want to follow. Mindsets are the foundation. They shape how you perceive the world, think, learn, and act, so fixing them fixes everything else.

And that question is, what do leaders need to do to be effective? And we've got some really good answers to this question, but it just didn't sit well with me because I think that leadership is so much more than doing the right things. It's about being a certain type of person, being somebody that other people want to follow. And so since then, it's been my mission to try to figure out how do we tap into the being element of leadership? And every things led me to mindsets, because our mindsets, how we see the world, is foundational to how we think, learn, and behave. So when we can focus on mindsets, we kind of cut to the chase and really the core of who we are. And so that's what I focus on now.
