How Do You Develop the Mindset of the Disruptive Leader?

In an interview with Lisa Urbanski, she and I examined how disruptive leaders differentiate themselves from others. At the beginning of the conversation, we explored the mindset of the masses. We uncovered how people get stuck in the same patterns throughout their lives. As the conversation progressed, we peeled back the layers of champions who navigated disruption. We discussed the language of champions and how they separate themselves from mainstream belief systems. While many mainstream belief systems are promoted as irrefutable facts of life, high performers develop ways to operate outside of the masses. In the beginning, some of those high performers may appear delusional. They commit to extreme levels of success without proof it can be done. To do that, there needs to be a mindset that is impervious to the uncertainty and discomfort that accompanies great success. Throughout the interview, many myths were dispelled. Some of those myths are like sacred cows that no one believes they can question. Prepare yourself to be surprised or perhaps disappointed that you believed the myth.
