Sneaky Beliefs That Limit Your Sense of Possibility
It's rare for our performance to transcend what we believe is possible for us. Leaders must therefore commit themselves to enlarging their sense of possibility -- possibility both for themselves and for their people.
Our sense of possibility, however, can never exceed what we believe to be true about ourselves and about those whom we lead. Knowing this, excellent leaders are conscientious about ridding themselves of beliefs which needlessly limit their sense of what's possible.
Their best efforts notwithstanding, leaders still frequently remain saddled with disabling beliefs without recognizing it. Why? Because many disabling beliefs disguise themselves by masquerading as facts. Grammatically they look like straightforward descriptions of the way things are. They give no appearance of actually being a belief. That's why I call them "sneaky beliefs."
So long as we see them as "facts," they leave the impression that there is nothing that we can do to change them. By their very nature, facts are impervious to change. But once we recognize these "facts" as beliefs, we can indeed change them and rid ourselves of their their limiting influence. After all, we've been changing beliefs for our entire life, right?
This episode outlines a strategy for ferreting out these culprits and banishing them from our thought process. Each time another of these sneaky beliefs is disarmed, our sense of possibility for ourselves and/or for our people grows larger. This episode is a how-to guide on achieving that outcome.
