Hello ScaleUps,
Hope itâs been a productive and purposeful week. Here are some insights/opportunities to help you outlearn/outthink the competition.
How do great leaders find such courage while most people donât? Research points to a personality style called âhardiness.â | |

THE Emotional Quality of Great Leaders --
One common characteristic of Fortuneâs â50 Greatest Leadersâ is courage â willing to make bold moves and decisions when necessary. This short Fortune article links this capability of bravery back to a personality style called âhardiness.â Notes Fortuneâs Geoff Colvin (Iâm framing this quote and staring at it each day):
Hardy individuals donât see the world as threatening or see themselves as powerless against large events; on the contrary, they think change is normal, the world is fascinating, they can influence events, and itâs all an opportunity for personal growth. |
How to Become Hardy, the 3 Câs --
All this begs the question, if hardiness is the crucial leadership trait, can it be learned? I found this 2012 Psychology Today article highlighting the research of The Hardiness Institute. According to the founder Dr. Salvatore Maddi, the most important characteristics of hardiness are commitment, control, and challenge.
View Stressors as Opportunities to Grow --
I found the last characteristic, challenge, particularly useful given some big stressors Iâve been facing. The key is viewing these stressors as opportunities to learn with almost a child like curiosity i.e. âIâm curious whatâs going to happen next.â Redirecting/reframing that self-sabotaging voice in your head is a big part of developing hardiness. Please take 3 minutes to read this insightful article â which includes how parents can help their children to become hardy.
New Employee Fun --
First impressions matter. Coming out of my two-day Scaling Up workshop for 260 YPOers and their teams in Brisbane, Australia this week, Chapter Chair and Managing Director of Wiley, Tom Wiley, noted:
Iâve already embraced improving our new employee onboarding experience using your movie voucher ideaâ¦I sent out the first one today. |
