"I believe that we all hold a big, imaginary magnifying glass out in front of us and we have a choice what we focus it on; the positive 90% aspects of our life, or the negative 10%."
This book will challenge you to pick up your magnifying glass and not only see your life through that 90% lens but lead others through that lens as well. It will not only change your perspective on life, it will start to change your brain.
Leading with a 90% lens will change how you view and talk about your own life, and the words you use to lead your teams. Being a leader is hard work. You will have days when you wonder if you are making a difference. Running a company is the easy part. Leading people is the hard part.
Leading with the 90% is leading with a lens of compassion, understanding, respect and kindness. The teams we lead live enormous lives. The world is not always kind to people and the workplace should not be another unkind place. People need to feel safe at work. They need to feel like they belong. This book is filled with stories of kind leaders and why they think kindness is so important.
Leading through a 90% lens is HOW you develop kindness. By seeing people through a 90% lens, you look for what connects you, what unites you and what makes you the same. You learn to see their strengths, what you like about them and how you can make their work life more positive.
In a world that needs more kindness, viewing others through a 90% lens cultivates acceptance, compassion, and inclusion. The 90% lens will help us be more understanding of others and the life challenges our team members are faced with.
