As manufacturing leaders, it is important to continue to develop new habits of thinking and new habits of action. Doing so will allow you to create focus and gain momentum in your organization. Over the course of the next four episodes, I will be producing a series on developing your leadership foundations, including how to create habits of mind and action. My goal is to help you build your leadership skills for yourself, for your organization, and for your future.

Have you thought about what your habits of mind for 2020 will be? How do you view yourself? How do you view the world around you? And when you pull it all together, are you showing up in the world as you’d like? In this episode, I am going to delve into the topic of creating habits of mind so that you can effectively operate as a leader and promote creativity, reasoning, and meaning in your work and life.

We’ll dive deeper into these concepts:

How you view yourself, plus mindfulness, routines, and habits
How you view the world, including growth versus fixed mindset
How you interact with the world, plus attempting to be 1% better each day
4 lenses which will help you to define your 2020 goals

Now for some action steps:

Ask yourself the following questions and see what comes up for you:
- How do you view yourself?
- How can you fit mindfulness into your day?
- How do you create habits that are supportive of getting a great start in the day?
