Episode 175 – Outgrow

Employee Thinking – allowing others (or the firm and its rules) to limit how far you can expand, what you can achieve, who you can talk to, what you can say, how fast you move, and what you do.  Permission-based thinking.

• If you don’t have autonomy – the freedom to make decisions related to your job, including growth and passion – you’re not going to enjoy your job very much
• You can’t let clients or employers version of reality permeate yours
• Heroes – people who stretch beyond the usual, the expected – all bets about what you’re “allowed to do or be” are off
• A badass leader does not let others define them
• The belief that you have to walk the line or be fired is exactly that – a belief.  You can choose it, or not.
• The only person interested in your expansion is YOU
• When you hear the word “can’t” (above the age of 13 anyway) you need to run in the opposite direct
• If you allow others to control and direct you, you cannot fully lead teams
• Your duty is to fulfil the promise of agility – to break through tradition and old ways of working, eliminate waste, enable people
• As always, balance is key.  Courage and sovereignty is tempered by humility and service
