Every leader must be ready and willing to take charge, to make hard, crucial calls for the good of the team and the mission. Something much more difficult to understand is that in order to be a good leader, one must also be a good follower. This is a dichotomy - a Dichotomy of Leadership. It is, as authors Jocko Willink and Leif Babin explained in their best-selling first audiobook, Extreme Ownership, “Simple, Not Easy”.

Most people believe that the best way to motivate is with rewards like money - the carrot-and-stick approach. That's a mistake, says Daniel H. Pink (author of To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others). In this provocative and persuasive new book, he asserts that the secret to high performance and satisfaction - at work, at school, and at home - is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world.

The belief that one can meet the challenge of life and succeed and act in a way that conveys that belief can be characterized as faith in oneself. Faith requires a realistic sense of skill and a sense of confidence in this knowledge. A realistic assessment of one's ability allows one to strike a healthy balance between too much and too little trust. Too much confidence is seen as cockiness and pride. Overestimating one's skills can lead to problems such as not having projects completed on time.

Story
Thinking outside the box means applying existing knowledge in new, unexpected ways to come up with new ideas and solutions. This is an essential skill in today’s fast-changing world. But saying “think outside the box” isn’t enough - you have to be aware of the box before you can think outside it. The scientific name for this imaginary box is “mental model”. Mental models are useful because they help you learn. They help you make sense of new information and attach it to your existing knowledge. But, at the same time, they can limit your thinking.
By: William Bell
Publisher's Summary
Are you ambitious and want to improve your career trajectory?
You wonder how some managers and leaders can make decisions in a split second?
Or you want to improve your productivity and efficiency to get more done in less time?
Then keep reading….
Scientists have been breaking their heads for ages to discover essential differences between the average Joe and billionaires or great leaders. In the last 50 years, a lot of practical research has been performed, from brain activity scans while people are making decisions to research in selective perception at the Universities of Princeton and Dartmouth. Although every person is unique, successful people use the same thinking models, productivity hacks, and decision-making techniques. All these skills are acquired, learned, and improved during life.
In Thought Models for Leadership, you'll discover:
- Negotiation principles essential to become successful as a leader
- Replicate this foundational thought model used by both Charlie Munger (billionaire business partner of Warren Buffet) and Elon Musk (CEO of Tesla and SpaceX) to create new and original opportunities for your company and yourself in existing situations
- What you, as a leader, can learn from this Harvard University test with a gorilla. Miss this, and your leadership capability will never grow to its full potential.
- Discover seven ways to apply this thinking model, used by the ancient Greeks and Romans and later by Albert Einstein
- Learn which thinking model Ray Dalio, now billionaire investor, started applying from a young age onwards. Apply this to become a great leader as well.
- Ten essential components to boost your leadership career
- Seven ways to stop "problem repeater inside your head at night" so you can prevent overthinking the same problem over and over again at the wrong place and at the wrong time
- Sixteen thought models to make better and more effective decisions as a leader
- Twelve mental models used by Jeff Bezos (founder of Amazon) and other successful business leaders in running their businesses
- And much, much more.
Maybe you're wondering if these leaders and billionaires were born with special gifts. Scientists discovered the behavior, communication, and thinking patterns are learned and improved during the life of these leaders and millionaires, and they can be modeled without having the IQ of Einstein.
