If you want to move people to take a specific action, you must make a choice: You can choose to influence the old fashion way, by pushing from your position of leadership. This approach may drive short-term compliance, but it is not effective long-term. Or, you can lead by pulling or by attraction. This can drive much higher commitment from others, because it forces you to focus on finding out what’s in it for them.
I hope you choose the latter.

Is it hard for you to trust some of your peers, especially those with whom you often interact at work?

In our last episode, you learned about the importance of letting go of the mindset of an individual contributor, where you had to rely mostly on yourself to deliver your goals.
I invited you to instead achieve results through others by adopting a mindset of service.
But what happens if the service mindset doesn’t come naturally to you? Can you learn to adopt it? The good news is yes, you can learn this approach. The not-so-good news is that choosing to adopt a service mindset is not a decision you can make lightly.
