Start Here: From Tactical Doer to Strategic Leader (Welcome to Leadership Mindset 2.0)

Your title makes you a manager. Your mindset makes you a leader.

If you are like most executives and entrepreneurs, you are stuck in the "Doer Trap." You know you need to be more strategic, but you are constantly pulled back into the weeds of doing the work yourself.

Welcome to Leadership Mindset 2.0.

This isn't another show with long, rambling interviews. This is a massively practical playbook designed to shift your psychology and your strategy so you can scale your business without burning out.

Here is what you’ll get every week:

-Mondays (The Strategy): We break down a specific neuroscience framework or leadership tool to start your week.

-Wednesdays (The Coaching): You get to be a fly on the wall for real, unscripted coaching sessions. You’ll hear me coaching leaders just like you through their blind spots in real-time.

-Fridays (The Mentorship): I answer your direct questions in a rapid-fire Q&A to solve your specific leadership challenges.

Whether you have a 10-minute commute or a 30-minute workout, you will leave every episode with one actionable tool to implement immediately.

I’m R. Michael Anderson. Let’s get to work.
