  • Common themes of leaders who sustain excellence:
    • Self Awareness - "I scientifically studied this."
    • "People who work on their Self-Awareness are happier, get more promotions, and lead better lives"
  • It's become a national sport to point out that someone is self-aware -- "I wanted to do the research behind this to truly learn about it"
  • 95% of people think they're self aware -- But only 10%-15% are actually self aware
  • It's vitally important to regularly question your assumptions to become more aware
    • Don't wait for a life event or someone else to tell you to do this. You must work on it daily. The gains will be incremental (The Compound Effect)
  • "We cannot own other people's journeys, we must own ours."
    • You will work with people who lack awareness. Don't put it on yourself to fix it.
