The best leaders all had something more than skills. They had an X-factor that set them apart from everyone else: you can spot such people at any level. This is the mindset difference. It is invisible key to success: once you have it, you have an advantage that lasts a lifetime and works for you time and again.

The Mindset Of Success

Mindset is not about changing who you are. It is about becoming the best of who you are. The right mindset lets you focus on your natural strengths. It is not a simply new set of skills. It is a new way of thinking.

The Mindset Revolution

Focus on one or two must-win battles where you will secure your legacy and create a better future for yourself.

High Aspirations 

Be brave enough to trust your team to deliver. Learn to step back and stop interfering; this is remarkably hard to do for leaders who spent their entire careers believing that success comes from delivery. At this level, success comes from getting others to deliver.

Courage

You need to be persistent and focused, but you are past the need for deep resilience. Complaining about your intense travel schedule does not count if you travel first class around the world: you are showing off.

Resilience

You are now a role model, and you are under constant observation. Act the way you would want to be remembered, because people will remember you more for how you are and less for what you achieve.

Positive

Define your role, knowing that less is more. What is it that you, and only you, can do? Everything else has to be delegated. As with courage, learn to let go.

Accountable 

Very experienced leaders now report to you. They will resent being micro-managed. Instead, you have to forge a relationship which is about partnership, coaching and consulting.

Collaborative

Your role has changed again, but there is no one to tell you what your role is or how to perform it. The rules of survival and success have not changed, because there are no rules, you have to make the rules yourself. Your challange is to make the right rules.

Growth

Stay focused on your goal and do what it takes to get there. In practice, leaders below you will have to do most of the dirty work.

Ruthless

Short notes from the summary of the book that reflect the content of the subject well and explains what Jo Owen believes the mindset of success is. 

Will help you unlock your true potential and accelerate your career by acquiring the seven key mindsets that lead to leadership success.

The Mindset of Success

Many people question their work, perhaps after a life change or when their job fails to challenge them. However, after the two years of the pandemic, more people are rethinking their careers. A vast career coaching industry emerged to help people find a new direction and gain the skills to set and achieve their goals. But career coaching is primarily unregulated and can be a significant expense.

The coaching industry

We will consult specialists to plan our finances or trainers to help us get fit, but most people don't use that kind of strategy for their careers, causing them to be caught in a miserable situation they've carved out for themselves. Coaching used to be preserved for upper management, but there's a growing recognition that everyone can benefit from coaching programmes and advice. A coach can see patterns and behaviours and question the status quo. They can help you to see new possibilities.

Career coach can help you out of a career rut

Coaching is not therapy and also differs from mentoring. Coaching guides someone along their self-discovery journey. A coach enables you to find your career goals. First, they help you reflect on where you are now in your career, what you found most rewarding or challenging, where you felt most energised or frustrated, and where you want to be. Then they help to find the best path to get you there.

Coaching is not therapy

Identifying the right coach is vital as coaching is deeply personal. <ul><li>Ask around for personal recommendations.</li><li>Talk to two or three coaches to see if you connect.</li><li>Explore a coach's social media account.</li><li>See if they belong to a professional organisation: It means they have a specific amount of training, have committed to a code of ethics, and regularly update their knowledge base.</li></ul>

Finding the right coach

More people turning to career coaches to chart next steps – and get out of a "prison" of bad jobs. What’s realistic to expect from these professionals?
