The Missing Competency in Your High Tech Leadership Toolkit


What if improving your mental fitness was the key to solving your most frustrating challenges with your team and projects?


Mental fitness isn’t just a soft skill—it’s a strategic advantage.


You may have all the technical skills and experience needed to tackle these challenges, but consider this: is your attitude holding you back from finding the best solutions?

Or maybe you don’t have all the resources with the specific skills you need. Is it possible that your mindset is preventing you from seeking out and effectively engaging those resources?

Let’s imagine you have the potential to overcome these challenges. But if you’re just going through the motions—uninspired, unmotivated, and delivering a performance you know is subpar—could it be that your mental state is limiting your ability to deliver the kind of performance you’re truly capable of?

Perhaps your technical expertise and career history are exceptional, and now you’re leading the team. Yet, things still aren’t clicking. Have you thought about how your mindset could be preventing you from developing and fully using your leadership abilities?

It’s easy to attribute obstacles to external circumstances or the actions of others. But the reality is that your own attitude, mindset, mood, and mental state—shaped by assumptions, beliefs, and responses to others—play a massive role in your performance, health, and relationships.


One small step you can take today is to begin shifting your mindset—unlocking new solutions as you go.


In a tech-driven world, your mind is your most valuable tool—keep it sharp. Investing in mental fitness practices can make you a better leader. Don’t let day-to-day demands crowd out the time you need for your own development. Begin with a free Saboteur Assessment and Discovery Session—a first step toward greater self-awareness and experiencing the impact a positive, resilient mindset can have on your leadership.

Inspirational Moments from The Big Bang Theory

The popular series The Big Bang Theory (2007-2019) gave a view into the minds and hearts and culture of a group (a “hive”?) of nerds and their circle of friends and other carbon-based life forms. Their (uber-stereotypical) mix of high IQ and low EQ provided a lot of comic and poignant opportunities for the characters, and people watching the shows, to experience and learn from life.
