Curious about an ongoing study of the mindsets of business leaders when delivering their most extraordinary results? What is the mindset that shows up when CEOs are at their most effective?
Of the eight mindsets identified, the “Purposeful” theme is exhibited by 82% of the leaders. This mindset is especially important to a sense of personal power and mission and that translates into high levels of accomplishment.
So, how do you produce exceptional or brilliant results? Can you explain how you did it? Can you repeat? A mindset frame is not your genius but the “doorway” to your genius.
Dr. Eric Jackson’s research on exceptional performance reveals:
