Clay Linkous asks what single word describes your leadership when you're not in the room. Fixed-mindset leaders protect their image; growth-mindset leaders hunt for feedback. He argues mindset shows up first, before any results, through how you handle ownership and discomfort.
Can I ask you a hard leadership question? You know, right now there are conversations happening about your leadership and you're not in the room when those conversations are happening. Think about that. But if you were listening in, what one word would they use to describe you? You know, I led a leadership workshop this week for a couple hundred leaders over in the Raleigh, North Carolina area, and as I was preparing my content, I was reminded that I really see see the same fork in the road over and over again is that fixed mindset leaders protect their image, growth mindset leaders build their legacy. One type of leader avoids feedback, the other one hunts for it. And here's a truth that most organizations don't want to talk about, is that mindset shows up long before results do. It shows up in ownership, shows up in effort, and in how leaders respond when things get uncomfortable. So let me ask you this: Are you an owner of your leadership or are you just renting the title? I get asked a lot about what exactly is it, Clay, that you do? Well, if you want leaders who show up well even when no one's watching, that's what I help with.
