Why focus on energy and mindset in leadership


 

It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters. – Epictetus

 

You’ll get better as a leader when you focus on developing and maintaining a predominantly positive energy and mindset. You’ll be less burned out, less negative, less stressed, less overwhelmed by change, and less challenged by relationships. You’ll be more balanced in all aspects of your life. You’ll perform better. You’ll have peace of mind.

As a high-tech leader, your positive energy and mindset empowers you to get better in areas including:

  • Performance and Impact: Inspiring and empowering others toward exceptional results, balancing operational demands with strategic thinking, solving problems, and driving positive change.

  • Relationships: Having effective relationships and interactions with others in your team, colleagues, family, friends, and community, especially the emotional and non-rational aspects.

  • Time Management and Balance: Maintaining a fulfilling and satisfying balance in and between all aspects of your life, including your career/profession, your health and wellness, your family and friends, and your playtime.

  • Authenticity: Being authentic in your professional leadership role, with practices that work for you and for/with all the people and technology that are part of it, and with a leadership style that works for you and honors your distinctiveness.

  • Meaning and Fulfillment: Knowing and honoring your purpose, goals, passions, values, and heart, in all aspects of your professional and personal life, leaving a legacy that positively impacts others and shapes a better future.

  • Mastery: Evolving and following a foundation of sound, comprehensible, and personalized practices that sustain the choices and changes you make, as you navigate the future and continue to grow.

Think of your energy and mindset as your attitude and the way you show up and perform as a leader.
