The 7 Mindsets of

SuccessMindset is the heart of a revolution in management.


The real revolution is

how managers manage.

The is a gap between the best

leaders and the merely very good.

Skills can help us to join the merely

good. To become a great leader,

we need something more.

Mindset is the X-Factor that takes

us beyond merely very good.

Courage:

Dare to ActChasing our dreams takes courage.

Without courage, the dream remain a dream. Courage is about taking a personal risk.


Resilience:

Stay the CourseResilience follows courage,

because taking risks means that inevitably some risks lead to setbacks.


Positive:

Believe in BetterThe positive mindset is about creating energy, focusing on the

future, seeing opportunities where others see problems and becoming leader other want to follow.


ACCOUNTABILITY:

Control Your DestinyThe best leaders are never victims. 5


COLLABORATIVE:

Succeed through

OthersThe days of heroic leadership are over.

Success comes with and through others.


GROWTH:

Adapt to ThriveWhat works today may not work tomorrow – or in anotherplace. Merely very good leaders can become prisoners oftheir own success: they cling on to a success formula untilthe world changes and they become irrelevant.
