Dear Future Leadership Mindset Ninja From: The laptop of R. Michael Anderson, MBA MA
RE: Transforming your Leadership Mindset (and why this is the only way to get better results)
Before I created Leadership Mindset 2.0, I spent years struggling with my own leadership as a corporate VP then the founder and CEO of my business.
I was secretly and constantly worrying that I didn’t have what it took to be a “real” leader .
I was working nonstop, taking on mountains of responsibility, and constantly jumping in with my teams to put out fires myself.
It wasn’t long before I was so stressed I could barely sleep in the few hours I did have to rest - even when I was nearly dead on my feet.
I thought it would get easier over time - after all, that’s what everyone said would happen.
But instead, I just felt more and more like a fraud with each day that passed .
I was spending my commutes rehearsing my responses in case this was the day that everyone - including my friends and family - finally found out I had NO idea what I was doing.
And this was all happening because, though I didn’t know it, my leadership efforts were actually disengaging my team instead of empowering them.
So all I could focus on was surviving one day to the next.
Then, after a long story, which included some hard and dark times (that I do share in the book), and resulted in earning a master’s degree and a neuroscience certificate, I was able to turn it all around.
And that's because I finally learned what really makes ALL of us tick as leaders and as team members.
By leveraging this new understanding of myself and my team, I was able to:
✔️ Found, scale, and exit three enterprise software companies (two in California and one in Singapore).
✔️ Have one of my businesses featured on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest growing companies …
✔️ AND get voted the #1 Best Place to Work that same year.
And to top it all off…
✔️ I even won “Social Entrepreneur Of The Year” while making the front page of the newspaper for my success.
And while all that was amazing and I was incredibly excited and proud…
The BIGGEST and most impactful part of this transformation for me was that leadership finally became the FUN and FULFILLING role I had dreamed of.
The weight of the responsibility was well worth it now that I was truly leading my team, my business, and myself.
And is it a big claim that all that leadership success can fit into one book?
It is true...
... but I don't expect you to trust me... yet.
So let me prove it to you
But first, I need you to read this disclaimer:
I know there are mountains of books, TED talks, HBR articles, and more on leadership…
And you’ve probably seen, read, or at least heard of many of them...
Only to find they’re just ANOTHER to-do you need to add to your endless list and quickly move on to the next.
Which means you and I both know that even though this book will give you everything you need to become the best leader you can be with a simple yet profound perspective shift...
It will only change things if you USE the tools I'm giving you today to maintain that perspective.
And that’s why I've made it as easy as possible by cutting out all the fluff, all the theory, and all the chatter or digressions.
I’ve also created integration exercises at the end of each chapter.
So reading the book will be quick AND it will be easy to apply and practice every step as you go.
I’ve designed it this way because I know how precious your time is.
So while even those who read just the first chapter start experiencing the powerful mindset shifts for themselves (and see their leadership and results start changing right away)...
True transformation and mastery of these skills will take some time , consistency, and a little patience.
After all, it took me decades to learn all of this, let alone put it into a clear, step-by-step, actionable process for others.
But it’s going to take you a whole lot less time than that to apply the system, and truly transform yourself as a leader when you do.
One more thing…
I work on the neuroscience and psychological levels . That means the leaders who get the most out of following me have two things in common.
They are self-reflective and they have the willingness to grow .
Meaning they’re ready to take a look at how they are thinking and acting so they can upgrade their “core operating system” (to use a computer analogy).
In short, you’ll need to be open to a new perspective long enough to see if it’s right for you - even if you’re not sold at first…
Because the leadership I teach all starts with the leader themselves.
And the leaders who do take this step of growth see amazing results in a very short time.
I Did It All By Using A Completely New, “Evidence-Backed” Approach To Leadership That I’m Sharing With You Right Here On This Very Page…
The same “Growth Leadership” model that managers, executives, and business owners from all over the world are now using to level up their mindset and leadership skills…
Allowing them to gain the respect of their peers and superiors faster than ever before...
Engage and empower their teams for improved focus, productivity, and effectiveness...
And best of all…
Grow their teams personally and professionally in ways that ALSO multiply the business’s revenue, profits, and customer satisfaction.
This is the same system that Trusted Brands (like my clients right here) have me teach their top executives…
