In leadership, it’s natural to start by doing what you’ve seen others do.

We call that “Quadrant 1.” When that doesn’t work, you try fixing what’s broken with yourself.

But some leaders get to a point where they get tired of the chronic self doubt.

Some leaders throw off the copying and press in to being authentically themselves. We call this Quadrant 3 Leadership.

During my keynote for the USBG’s (United States Bartenders Guild) Bar Summit, I illustrated Quadrant one as putting on a bowtie, despite wearing a t-shirt, because the leader before me had a bowtie.

And in Quadrant 3, I cast off the bowtie. 😁

What do you need to cast off in your leadership journey? What approach is no longer serving you?
