KEY INSIGHTS
Believe First. Albert Bandura's research at Stanford shows self-efficacy predicts performance more reliably than skill alone.
Believe First. Teams with high collective efficacy, the shared belief in their joint capacity to achieve, outperform teams with high individual talent.
Believe First. In Martin Seligman's MetLife study, optimistic applicants who failed the standard hiring test outsold the pessimists by 37% in year two.
Release Your Ego. Tasha Eurich finds 95% of people believe they possess self-awareness. About 15% score high on both internal and external measures. Your ego lives in that gap.
Release Your Ego. Brené Brown's interviews with 150 senior leaders name vulnerability as the foundational skill of daring leadership. Ego is the most common armor people leaders wear that prevent vulnerability.
Activate What's Possible. Teresa Amabile's research names progress on meaningful work as the strongest predictor of positive workday emotion and engagement.
Activate What's Possible. Recognition is the activation energy. Shawn Achor's research links naming a team member's progress out loud with positive biochemistry.
Venture Forward. The step comes first. The bridge follows. Angela Duckworth's research on grit finds talent predicts achievement less reliably than the willingness to take the next step.
Embrace the Suck. In a 30,000-person study Kelly McGonigal documents, people under high stress who believed stress was harmful carried a 43% increased risk of dying. Those who held the opposite belief carried the lowest risk in the study.
Embrace the Suck. Robert Emmons's research suggests gratitude carries its highest leverage as the sour accompanies the sweet in your culture’s sauce.
