Top Takeaways
Great leaders live like drug addicts – what does that mean?
Getting what you want as an entrepreneur the same way a drug addict wants to get their next hit
3 Behaviors that Addicts Use in Active Addiction
- Saying yes when you should say no
- Hiding weaknesses
- Avoiding difficult conversations
Don’t tell someone what to stop doing, tell them what to start doing
You can tell a leader to…
- Just stop overcommitting
- Stop being inauthentic
- Stop working at 5 PM
But it won’t work – The real problem is addiction.
The Cost of Mask Addiction
- Time
- Growth
- Connection
- Innovation
- Success
You will gain trust by sharing your weaknesses.
Mask Recovery
- Rigorous authenticity
- Surrender the outcome
- Do the uncomfortable work
A truly inspiring leader tells you what they did, they don’t tell you what you should do. They say, “See what I do next and walk with me.”
Key Points
- Surrender the outcome instead of trying to control it
- Practice rigorous authenticity and let go of “what might happen”
- Holding onto our past mistakes hinders us being present
- Own the mistakes you have made in the past so that next time you can control your actions
