Potential Leader Lab

Drawing from personal experiences and insights gained from recent self-reflection, Perry candidly shares his journey of realizing that he had falsely assumed he possessed a growth mindset. Using anecdotes and references from books and speakers, Perry discusses how his prior belief in having a growth mindset was challenged by his behaviors and thought patterns.What is the distinction between knowing and learning? Perry emphasizes the importance of continuous learning to maintain cognitive fitness. It's the interconnectedness of physical, emotional, and cognitive fitness. Perry stresses the significance of engaging in new experiences and actively seeking growth opportunities. He also highlights the impact of language and self-talk, recognizing the significance of fostering a positive internal dialogue to cultivate a growth-oriented mindset.When was the last you pursued a new experience or skill? Remember, failure is not an endpoint, but rather a source of valuable data points. Embrace a growth mindset and remain open to continuous learning and exploration.Embracing a Growth Mindset: "In a growth mindset, failure is an inevitability."— Perry MaughmerTop Takeaways1.

Failure is viewed as an opportunity and a certainty in a growth mindset, providing valuable data points for learning and improvement.3. The journey towards growth is a long obedience in the same direction, and it's not about reaching a particular destination but about who we become along the way.4. A growth mindset involves maintaining fitness in various areas such as physical, cognitive, and emotional, and nurturing healthy relationships with others.5. Challenging oneself to do something new and learning continually is fundamental to maintaining a growth mindset and keeping the brain healthy.6.

Let's take a closer look at psychological flexibility, unraveling its significance and impact on our lives. We'll uncover the key steps to identify our personal values and learn the art of welcoming all emotions. But that's not all; we'll also delve into the power of beliefs, their influence on our reality, and the relationship between control and acceptance. Lastly, we'll delve into the importance of clarity, commitment, and actions when it comes to leadership and self-efficacy.Perry Maughmer believes the world deserves better leadership; that in every human interaction there is the opportunity to either build others up or tear them down; and that leadership is the choice we make in those moments.These beliefs led Perry to create the Potential Leader Lab.

In this episode of the Potential Leader Lab podcast, Perry Maughmer discusses the importance of choosing one's boulders wisely. The acceleration of achieving our goals depends on the force applied and the mass of the goal itself. We should focus on a few significant boulders rather than spreading our efforts across multiple ones. Reflect on what truly matters to you and ask yourself what you want most versus what you want now. We have the power we have to choose our boulders and to direct our energy towards meaningful pursuits.

If we want things to change, we need to make different decisions and choices - which invariably require discomfort and risk. But as we become more successful, our propensity to take the risks required to evolve as both people and leaders becomes harder.Without a granular understanding of how you want your life to be different, it’s difficult to do the heavy lifting required to make evolution a reality.

Nobody expects burnout to happen to them. But as our current professional environments demand more and more of our time, there is less energy and focus put on refilling the tank.

According to French existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre, despite not creating ourselves and being put here without consent, we do have the ability, I believe it is a responsibility, to make choices and act freely in every situation. Looking around at our society today, I think sometimes we’ve lost that mindset and instead believe things happen to us (and not for us). To me the fact that we can always choose to act our way into being offers limitless freedom and opportunities.Perry Maughmer believes the world deserves better leadership; that in every human interaction there is the opportunity to either build others up or tear them down; and that leadership is the choice we make in those moments.These beliefs led Perry to create the Potential Leader Lab.

As humans, the number one thing that drives our behavior is acting in a way that is going to relieve discomfort. But if we want our future to be different, we need to start acting differently in the present, which can be a deeply uncomfortable proposition. Growth is uncomfortable.I believe the most important battle we fight in moving towards our goals and aspirations is the one within ourselves as we let go of our previous identity to form a new one.Perry Maughmer believes the world deserves better leadership; that in every human interaction there is the opportunity to either build others up or tear them down; and that leadership is the choice we make in those moments.These beliefs led Perry to create the Potential Leader Lab.

Management is what creates value, not leadership. And yet we’ve become enamored by leadership; the vision, the strategy, and the charisma. In the process, we’ve created an ecosystem that supports just one level of an organization to think creatively, come up with unique or interesting ideas, or build the vision of the organization, leaving it to others to implement those ideas. 80% of the important things that happen in a business are management-oriented, which leads me to believe nobody’s job should be to purely lead an organization. In this episode, I’m exploring what happens when we allow all levels of an organization to offer up great ideas and contribute to the vision while being able to execute those ideas.Perry Maughmer believes the world deserves better leadership; that in every human interaction there is the opportunity to either build others up or tear them down; and that leadership is the choice we make in those moments.These beliefs led Perry to create the Potential Leader Lab.

Most of the time, we aspire to chase big, hairy, audacious goals. We want to move far beyond what we’ve done in the past. And yet we don’t allow our future selves to define what those goals are - we think about where we’ve been and set about going in the opposite direction.Evolving on purpose suggests two things; doing something with intention and moving towards a specific end state.

“Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare” - Japanese proverb.The #1 responsibility of a leader is to teach people how to think (not what to think), and the easiest way to do that is to create a set of guidelines or guardrails with the vision, mission, and values of the organization on one side and the financials on the other.Your leadership philosophy should flow from your vision, mission, and values, be representative of how those things show up in every aspect of your business, and be the guide for how people lead.Perry Maughmer believes the world deserves better leadership; that in every human interaction there is the opportunity to either build others up or tear them down; and that leadership is the choice we make in those moments.These beliefs led Perry to create the Potential Leader Lab.

You create lists of initiatives and tasks so long that they become overwhelming and somehow distract us from the actions that have actual importance.In this episode, I’m exploring the mechanisms that stop us from doing despite knowing.

Prior to the late 1800’s the concept of retirement didn’t exist. And it wasn’t until the mid-1900’s that older people were financially compensated for leaving employment - at an age where they had usually outlived the average life expectancy of the time.  This antiquated concept of retirement no longer makes fiscal or social sense. In this episode I’m taking a look at the historical and financial impact of retirement and exploring how leaders can intentionally and explicitly create a life they don’t want (or need) to retire from by taking small steps towards the things they desire now, instead of waiting until later.Perry Maughmer believes the world deserves better leadership; that in every human interaction there is the opportunity to either build others up or tear them down; and that leadership is the choice we make in those moments.These beliefs led Perry to create the Potential Leader Lab.

The average manager spends two full days per week consumed in meetings. And if that wasn’t bad enough, 71% of senior managers felt like meetings were unproductive and inefficient. Meetings that suck aren’t just a waste of time…they also cost companies billions of dollars in lost productivity.In this episode, we’re exploring how you can redefine meetings in your organization. From getting clear on who can call meetings, training to effectively run and manage group discussions, and how to ensure people add value when they gather together, rather than waste time and energy.Perry Maughmer believes the world deserves better leadership; that in every human interaction there is the opportunity to either build others up or tear them down; and that leadership is the choice we make in those moments.These beliefs led Perry to create the Potential Leader Lab.

As leaders, we need to move quickly, but we can’t be fast all the time. And yet our default setting is to move fast, to categorize everything as important and urgent, requiring speed and efficiency. Leadership actually requires a focus on people, which requires proactivity, decision-making, exploring new opportunities, and reflecting on experiences. These actions demand time and effectiveness, not speed and efficiency.

To evolve means to unroll or change, with a speed limit. If we always see things through the same frames, then we’re always processing the information in the same way. Because our brain wants to do things as efficiently and quickly as possible, we need to be looking for different ways to challenge ourselves, our thoughts, and our way of being.In this episode, I explore the ideas of, among other things, a growth mindset, locus of control, the power of our beliefs, and manifestation. All ways we can challenge ourselves to think and be different in order to evolve as both a leader and a person.Perry Maughmer believes the world deserves better leadership; that in every human interaction there is the opportunity to either build others up or tear them down; and that leadership is the choice we make in those moments.These beliefs led Perry to create the Potential Leader Lab.

The traditional mindset around leadership is that good leaders know how to act. Whilst that’s true to a point - leaders do need to take action - I believe more importantly, leaders need to think in order to create strategies or things of value that don’t exist but will improve the value of their organization. Leadership means doing the cognitive heavy lifting, understanding what action needs to be taken, and being in charge of directing others. This requires higher order thinking, including the ability to analyze, evaluate, and create. With that comes the responsibility to assess and edit your thoughts, which is what we dive into in this episode of the Potential Leader Lab.Perry Maughmer believes the world deserves better leadership; that in every human interaction there is the opportunity to either build others up or tear them down; and that leadership is the choice we make in those moments.These beliefs led Perry to create the Potential Leader Lab.

And yet the consensus is that, despite strong leadership being integral to their very survival, it is still perceived as a weakness for most organizations. In this episode, we take a look at the wicked learning environment set up by traditional organizations and explore the mismatch between organizational needs, leadership training, and the development of individuals who are equipped with the skills necessary to drive change and transformation. Perry Maughmer believes the world deserves better leadership; that in every human interaction there is the opportunity to either build others up or tear them down; and that leadership is the choice we make in those moments.These beliefs led Perry to create the Potential Leader Lab.
