Leading with the Infinite Mind

Leading with the infinite mind involves five key practices. The first practice is advancing a just cause, which is a grand vision that people are willing to sacrifice for. It is different from the 'why' as it focuses on the future rather than the past. The second practice is building trusting teams, where leaders create an environment of psychological safety where people can admit mistakes or ask for help without fear of retribution. The third practice is studying worthy rivals, recognizing that rivals can reveal our own weaknesses and inspire self-improvement. The fourth practice is having a capacity for existential flexibility, meaning the ability to make strategic shifts in order to advance the just cause, even if it means walking away from past investments. The fifth practice is having the courage to lead, which comes from external support and belief from others. These five practices foster an infinite mindset in leadership and help create meaning and purpose in our work and lives.
