🎯 Mindset and High Agency Leadership

LIP #255

Oct 10, 2025

High agency leadership means taking ownership and control of what you can influence, rather than getting frustrated by challenges. This involves embracing 'hard mode' - consciously acknowledging difficult situations and approaching them with the right energy.

Key practices include:

Leading with emotion through morning rituals like music and physical preparation
Being more visceral in sharing genuine reactions with others
Doing quick 'visceral drafts' - putting thoughts on paper in just five minutes
Acknowledging and embracing negative feelings as valuable data points

When facing challenges, give yourself grace to feel frustrated while staying curious about hidden beliefs, especially during strong negative reactions. Challenge thoughts by asking "why could I be wrong?"
