I am absolutely convinced that you must change what you believe first before you can ever consistently change how you behave. If you believe the wrong thing, then you will almost automatically make the wrong decision or take the wrong action. Dan Reiland talks about leadership lies we must stop believing:
“A fast pace with high pressure can cause us to believe functional leadership lies even if we’ve been taught they’re not true.
I call them functional lies because they are not moral or sinful, but they can still be harmful.
“Leadership lies” may be too strong a phrase, but “misconceptions” is too weak.
I’ve met too many great people that lead as if these statements are true. So, allow some grace for perhaps an overly strong word, and let’s get practical.”
