Recommendation

Leaders must always be conscious, metaphorically, of the quality of the air they and their teams breathe in and out. Think of this air as your organization’s culture, its prevailing ideas and mindsets. Is the “air” in your workplace healthy or polluted? Does it build up your employees or break them down? Consultant and author Jason V. Barger urges leaders to build their mindset and culture around six foundational attributes: “clarity, inclusivity, agility, grit, rest and ownership.” Leaders who focus on these priorities can be the breath of fresh air their people and their organization need.

Take-Aways

  • Working in a culture with a bad mindset is as damaging as breathing bad air.
  • Productive leaders and their teams need six mindsets: “Clarity, inclusivity, agility, grit, rest and ownership.”
  • 1. Clarity – Leaders need a clear vision that inspires others and motivates improvement.
