Four Work Mindsets
- Everyone has a relationship to work that fits one of four archetypes: prisoner, mercenary, missionary, or athlete.
- The athlete mindset frames work as deliberate practice for growth and frees you from the downsides of the other three mindsets.

- Ask the irritating question: "What are we capable of?" to shift from solving problems to imagining new potential.
- Let that question become an authority that expands your goals beyond current success.
