I want to walk you through install the Lead Without a Title Mindset. And again, that’s just a way of thinking. It’s an approach. So what I’m really suggesting is, no matter what you do, no matter what your station in life is, start thinking like a leader. Because you can be a frontline, so-called, employee. And be so great at what you do, that your behavior and your performance goes viral across the organization, and it goes viral across the marketplace because you’re a merchant of, wow. And that’s actually the right thing to do. It’ll allow you to go to sleep every night with a clear conscience, you’ll feel so great about yourself. And of course the organization is just going to watch you fly. So regardless of what you do, see
yourself as a craft person. Be so great at your work that when we watch you work, tears fill our eyes, like tears fill our eyes when we look at Michelangelo’s masterpiece on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
And this is an incredible opportunity, because I think there’s two economies out there. There’s
the global economy that everyone talks about. But there’s also something that I teach at the Titan Summit, for example, which is your personal economy. And if you start thinking about your personal economy, the craft that you birth into the world, the value that you deliver to your organization, your customers, and all stakeholders. And you say to yourself, I will not release any work until it’s nothing less than world class. You develop a personal economy where the entire world, or maybe it’s your entire industry starts to view you as legendary. And then while the rest of the global economy is in acute disruption, people are losing their jobs, people are being laid off, the world, beats a path to your door.
Because the world always wants the best. The marketplace pays for mastery.
