In this episode, Iâm sharing a pattern Iâve noticed among leaders over the yearsâthe tendency to copy routines of high-profile CEOs, hoping it will lead to success. Imagine a new team lead like Maria, trying out productivity apps, waking up at 4:30 a.m., and reading a book every week, all because she saw her favorite CEO do it. After a few weeks, sheâs exhausted and feeling like a failure. What Maria doesnât realize is that these habits reflect the CEOs' current lifestyles, not what helped them get there in the first place.
Main Ideas:
â Why copying senior leadersâ habits can set you up for frustration.
â How âempathy gapsâ make it hard for top leaders to remember the struggles of early roles.
â The power of "next-level mentoring"âlearning from people whoâve just overcome the challenges youâre facing.
â Practical ways to connect with mentors who can share relevant, real-time advice.
Iâve found that getting guidance from someone just a step aheadâsomeone who has recently dealt with similar hurdlesâoften makes a bigger impact. These mentors can offer advice thatâs fresher, more practical, and in tune with your current reality.
If youâre curious about finding the right mentors who truly understand your journey, I think youâll find this episode especially helpful.
