Our actions are constrained by pressure, some of which is exerted upon us, and other which we impose upon ourselves.
The rules of the system, the judgement of others, our own belief in our capability, the beliefs that others hold about us in our reputation. These things, in a very real way, create our space of leadership. People describe how around 70% of the consequence that they feel is held in social judgement, more so than formal rules.
The pressures we feel are hence unique: your space is different from mine, even if we both happen to inhabit the same organisation at the same moment in time, because i come with a different history, reputation, and set of beliefs to you.
Use your 60 seconds today to ask yourself which pressures act upon you.
How many of these are imposed, and how many imagined?
