Thought Tweet #822.5

by Rick Baker
On Sep 10, 2013

Thought Tweet #822.5 People mirror trust: if one shows evidence of it others sense it and show it too.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Actually it's a double-entendre, double-mirror metaphor: we have mirror neurons in our brains to help us understand other people's intentions...and we tend to mirror other people's behaviour.

Thought Tweet #821 Life's too short to beat the laughter out of me!

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Psychologists claim people, in general, laugh less as they age. As toddlers we laugh regularly. After that, we laugh less and less. It's like life beats the laughter out of us.

Thought Tweet #821.5 The leader's Values fuel everything; the leader's actions determine if the vehicle is in drive, neutral, reverse, or park.

Values are potential energy.

When you take action are they put to constructive use.

Thought Tweet #820 I'm so glad you mentioned that because I have some important things about me to share with you.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Sometimes we have such amazing things to share with other people we simply miss the fact they are trying to do the same.

When amazing stories collide.

Thought Tweet #820.5 When you are open-minded differences are strengths; when you are close-minded differences are weaknesses.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

The strongest of leaders seek out differences. 

Work to your strengths. Find others who have strengths that cover your weaknesses.

Thought Tweet #819

Thought Tweet #819 Errors only become long-term limiting when we choose to give them that power.


The Thinking Behind The Tweet

We cannot practice what we don't know how: we cannot teach what we don't know how.

But, do not expect your teachers will be masters: knowing how and doing are 2 different things.

Mastery of task is rare; even the most skilled make errors; errors define near-term limits, however, the limits do not have to be long-term limiting.

Errors only become long-term limiting when we choose to give them that power.
