Join 📚 Roger's Highlights

Lastly, you may have visited or joined a community (formal or informal) that seemed great in the beginning, and then your interest waned. Maybe you got upset by the way it was run. Was it because it stopped helping you be who you wanted to be? Did it become just another chore or responsibility? Perhaps the community did a bad job of explaining what its true purpose was. You joined thinking that you would find help to achieve X, only to discover that the community was really focused on helping members achieve Y. If you had understood that at the outset, you would never have joined. Sometimes, as leaders bringing people together, we find it easy to become convinced of our own greatness. We can help avoid this by remembering that we can lead for the long term only when we’re serving others. Let’s begin the cool stuff.

Regardless of where you work, be sure to also give yourself a specific time frame to keep the session a discrete challenge and not an open-ended slog.
Too Little of What You Need, Too Much of What You Don’t Most of the mistakes you can make on the way to achieving your goal fall into two broad categories of wrongs. The first is what psychologists call underregulation,1 not doing enough of something you need to do for success. So far the mistakes I’ve talked about in this chapter, missing opportunities and not self-monitoring, are examples of this kind of error. Lacking the self-control to avoid temptation and control your impulses is another kind of underregulation.
