BIG IDEA 1 (7:55) \u2013 Do your own work.

The most important role as a leader is to \u2018get yourself in order\u2019. Jerry\u2019s fundamental belief is that better humans make better leaders. He also said that leadership is the art of growing up. It\u2019s about getting over what happened to you before, putting aside some of those demons, and growing up.

However, we often avoid doing our own work (ie working on ourselves) for the fear of what we might find.\xa0 We keep ourselves busy, moving, distracted, and tired.\xa0 We blame circumstances, our past, our lack of time, the company that we work for, and anything else to avoid stopping to reflect.\xa0 And so, continue to be controlled by our unconscious, our leftover fears and out old patterns of behaviour.

BIG IDEA 2 (10:29) \u2013 Ask important questions.

The book is full of incredible reflective questions.\xa0 There were three particular questions that Jerry talks about in the book;

\n
• What am I not saying that needs to be said?
\n
• What am I saying that\u2019s not being heard?
\n
• What\u2019s being said that I\u2019m not hearing?
\n

Asking ourselves, and other people, these questions help us understand what\u2019s really going on.

BIG IDEA 3 (12:19) \u2013 Stop the sabotage.

There\u2019s another critical question in the book; how am I complicit in creating the conditions that I say I don\u2019t want?

We are often contradicting ourselves between our actions and speech.\xa0 Saying we do/don\u2019t want something but acting in the total opposite way.

Ask yourself some of these questions to see how, where, and why you\u2019re stopping yourself in reaching your potential, succeeding, and uncovering what\u2019s true to you.\xa0 It may be the irrational stories we tell ourselves, but without understanding this, they will continue to control and sabotage us.
