Lifters and Leaners: The contribution mentality

Episode #253 // In life, there tend to be two kinds of people: there are lifters and there are leaners. Lifters carry the burden for themselves and others… they take on more accountability than the average person, and they don’t rely on anyone else to make things happen. And leaners are happy to let them do so! In this episode, which I hope you find to be pretty straightforward and easy to absorb, my goal is to do just one thing: to explain the differences between lifters and leaners, and help you to clarify which one you are, right now.As a leader, you want the personal brand of being a lifter, not a leaner. Once you know the difference, the rest is up to you. Like everything in life, you get to choose your path, and make it happen… or not! I’ve also created a free PDF downloadable so that you can undertake a self-assessment which you can download here: Are you a lifter, or a leaner?Source Material: No Bullsh!t Leadership Episode:Ep.110: Getting In the ArenaMark Manson Article: The Most Important Question of Your Life————————FREE 5 DAY LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE: Want to boost your leadership capability?
