Leading the Pivot | Information, Not Identity
|
Welcome to Wednesday! As you step into the natural pivot point of the week, here’s a brief moment of encouragement and perspective to help you lead the pivots in your life. Leading the Pivot | Information, Not Identity The Moment A direct report pushes back. A teenager argues the point. A friend goes quiet. And we feel drained, because what was meant to help gets taken as a hit. Yet the same reflex shows up in us. When input comes our way, it can reach for our identity before it reaches our attention. We take it as who we are, not what was said. The Pivot When we can receive that information without weaving it into our worth, it becomes knowledge that gives us clarity. Clarity about ourselves, our impact, and how we want to show up next. And it quietly models something powerful to the people watching us: openness without defensiveness. The Move Can you hold it as information, not identity?
