Success Comes from Focusing on Impact, Not Outcome - 1 views

The romance of goal-setting captures our attention at least once a year (looking at you, New Years). We want to run marathons, we want to write books, we want to fall in love, we want to get in shape-we want to follow through on our commitments and reach the goals we've set for ourselves, but it's all easier said than done.

An outward mindset, however, focuses on being accountable and helping others achieve their goals and to the entire organisation (OUR results), seeing others as "people". This mindset promotes an attitude where the individual is focusing on collective success and the well-being of others by being helpful, responsible, and makes a real impact on the team effort.

Amy Simonelli sent me this article. Great thoughts on why we are so self deceived. "According to social psychologists, there's another, even deeper reason: Humans are programmed to see others more clearly than they see themselves-a phenomenon called actor/observer differences. "We read situations differently depending on whether we are the actor or the person watching," says Heidi Grant Halvorson, a motivational scientist at Columbia University Business School, who writes the blog The Science of Success. While others can clearly see that you frequently interrupt conversations or get red-faced and sweaty arguing a point, it's easier for you to ignore or rationalize your behavior, Grant Halvorson says. "You have access to so much information that others don't, like your past experiences, your beliefs about your own abilities, your fears and insecurities. All that extra data affects your interpretation of what you do-so self-defeating behaviors make more sense and seem more reasonable to you."

Strategic Planning with an Outward Mindset - Arbinger - 1 views

The Zerorez Phoenix office was known as the renegade-noncompliant, though successful in generating revenue, it had been the thorn in the side of corporate for years. Over time, headquarters began to dread interactions with the satellite office, going so far as avoiding communication for drawn-out periods of time. That was until Zerorez Phoenix franchise owner Casey Ashdown got his hands on a copy of Leadership and Self-Deception. After reading the book, it wasn't long before Ashdown and his business partner Nathan Perrins were attending an Arbinger workshop offered locally by Arbinger Facilitator Michael Merchant. The material resonated with Ashdown immediately, though Perrins was initially a bit more skeptical about the sustainability of a training somehow working its magic to transform an entire organization.

Arbinger's new way of speaking about this same phenomenon-inward and outward mindset-illustrates the same principles. An inward mindset describes a mentality wherein the individual is focused solely on him or herself. Again, akin to being in the box, from an inward mindset others don't matter like I do. We are cut off from and closed to their needs and challenges-their humanity. An outward mindset describes a mentality wherein the individual is focused on collective success and wellbeing. A person with an outward mindset is aware of and alive to the needs, concerns and objectives of others and understands that their needs, concerns and objectives matter.

The problem isn't that organizations struggle to find high-potential leaders, but rather that those leaders don't actually learn to inspire, nurture, and empower the employees and teams they lead. Often, the root of this failed development is a unique and powerful deterrent to success: self-deception.

Are You a Leader People Can Trust? - 2 views

Joel Peterson, a Robert L. Joss Consulting Professor of Management at Stanford Graduate School of Business implies that the reason many leadership attempts eventually fail can be attributed to a lack of trust. "Trust is more powerful than power itself," he remarked in a recent article. Thus whether your title is CEO, HR Director, or Sales Manager, your power as a leader does not lie in the position itself, but in your ability to build trust with those around you.

Great article, Joe! Key lesson - "As you strive to value one another and hold each other accountable, the trust you gain will enable unlimited space for innovation, collaboration, and success as a leader."
