What stood out for you in this week's session? How do you see "belonging" and that cultivation in your organization or in your life? Summary: People love to be around and follow people they can trust. Trust is defined as a confident belief in a person, product or organization. At their core, most failures are actually trust issues but they get blamed on leadership, sales, or something else. That means that a lack of trust is the biggest expense you have. And, a lack of trust affects the bottom line more than anything else. But as trust increases, positive things like output, morale and revenue increase, and negative things (like stress) decrease. Organizations never change, only people do. When you become more trustworthy, you can launch a ripple effect across your entire organization.

Overview: Grit is passion and perseverance for long-term goals. All high achievers have some level of skill or ability with their craft, but it’s their grittiness that sets them apart. Angela Duckworth’s research started from a single question, “Why do some people succeed and others fail?” In her quest, she found that grit is the single biggest determining factor to success. She’s also discovered scientific evidence for how you can increase your own level of grit over time: through practice! However, practice is about quality, not quantity. Gritty people engage in deliberate practice, which consists of three steps: breaking down your overall performance into tiny pieces and practicing one piece at a time, applying 100% focus, and seeking feedback. Individuals with grit reflect on feedback and do something about it instead of receiving it as criticism. Those with grit also have an inner circle around them that won’t let them quit on a bad day. What stuck out to you during this session? Develop your interests. You can't get great at something without being obsessed with it. What's something you find yourself obsessed/passionate about? Who or what organization in our community do you see embodying this main point? Practice deliberately. Break the work down into smaller pieces so that you can focus with intent.
Do you find it easy to focus and block out distractions? If you're passionate or feel successful at this main point, share some of your success in this area. What advice or encouragement would you give others? What comments would you make about seeking feedback? What does this look like in your life? Cultivate Purpose. You'll be more motivated if your skill is part of something larger than you. How does this play out in your work or personal life? How do you see this in our community? Adopt a growth mindset. Realize that you're never too old to improve or learn new things.
What's something new you've learned lately? When is the last time you took an old problem and revisited it with a fresh perspective or new idea for improvement? Use this thread for general commentary on the session and what your takeaways are! Feel free to post questions, share stories, etc.
Positive disruption isn’t reserved for those in high-level leadership. Anyone can be a positive disruptor. Such is the case for Richard Montañez, now vice president of multicultural sales and marketing at PepsiCo North America, who was serving as a janitor at a Frito-Lay factory when he thought of the idea to use spice in chips. This revelation led to the creation of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. “All you need is one revelation to create a revolution,” he says in his talk at Leadercast 2020—Positive Disruption. *Click 'Comments' and discuss below* Learn from your past.“In order to find your future, many times you’ve got to go revisit your past,” explains Richard. “When you do that, you become a visionary.” For Richard, looking to his past helped him realize he wasn’t created to fit in as a Spanish-speaking Latino attending an Englishspeaking school. “I was created to stand out,” he says.
Leave a legacy.When Richard landed his janitor job at Frito-Lay, his grandfather reminded him of the importance of leaving a legacy in all you do. “When you mop that floor, you make sure that it shines so that when people see it they know that a Montañez mopped it,” his grandfather told him. From that point on, everything Richard did was about his last name—his legacy.
Act like an owner.Richard’s success would have never come without the revelation and permission to act like an owner. No matter where you’re seated in your organization, voice your revelations and ideas. You never know where they might lead with the right people listening.
