**3 Mindsets for Success as a Leader **

Focusing on impact is crucial for success in any leadership role. Prioritizing company goals allows leaders to identify how they can drive these priorities forward. Understanding the levers that influence business performance helps leaders pinpoint where their contributions can be most effective. Additionally, adopting an inquiry-first approach is essential when facing disagreements.

This not only fosters better communication but also encourages a culture where questioning authority is acceptable. Sharing relevant data and insights during discussions can aid in resolving differences and enhancing decision-making.
