Lessons

» Lesson 1: What is the other 90 percent and who is keeping it from us?
A brief look at why most of us are unknowingly—and needlessly—trapped by common mindsets and habitual barriers to our capacity, brainpower and energy.
Lesson 2: Stand out from the crowd
Unlocking hidden capacity depends on being an original, not a copy, and seeing others as unique individuals, too.
Lesson 3: Don't compete, excel
In every field and discipline those who make the biggest difference are focusing on excelling, not competing, and using areas of human intelligence that most others don't access.
Lesson 4: Value differences and individualize recognition
Trust and untapped capacity depend on actively valuing human differences—in talents, perspectives and efforts.
Lesson 5: Build calm energy throughout the day
Everyone feels rushed these days, but we're trapped using tension and urgency as sources of fake energy instead of building the "calm energy" that star performers use.
Lesson 6: Reclaim your life off the job
As Emerson put it, "We're always getting ready to live but we never truly live." These days, we find ourselves doing too much and living too little.
Lesson 7: Extend your time horizon
The most successful men and women keep one eye on the future and never let go of their big dreams and defining talents.
Lesson 8: Manage adversity and stress in a changing world
Life and leadership can be seen as laboratories of development, and some of the greatest chances for each of us to learn and grow come when times are hardest and conditions are most uncertain.
