10. Prep and Landing 

Book summary of a 60 second leadership

In this chapter, the author talks about the importance of preparation. 

Sometimes, we forget about these things while moving towards our goal. It's all about a detailed step, a strategy to move towards our goal.

Proper preparation is key. For some, it comes easily and for some it takes time. As we all know luck is the place where opportunity and preparation meet.

Many people so-called gurus(motivational speaker)just try to boost the confidence and enthusiasm of people in their seminar. They try to sell them on that concept.

But, they forget to teach the key ingredient of success i.e. planning. It is a strategy game that keeps you track of your goal and makes it a reality.

To give us the basic idea the author asks us few a questions.

Are we ready for the next sales call?

Did we build a plan for a successful today and tomorrow? 

Key Lesson:- We must schedule our time to plan and build an accountability system to execute on that plan. 

Conclusion:- Plan your work, then work your plan. Planning comes first then its time to execute.

So are you all about motivation or you plan your game so that you can be ahead of the majority. Remember it's all a strategy game.

Hello, reader🙋Welcome back to another lesson from"60-second leadership" by Mike Green. Today's lesson is related to people and the way the author looks at them. So, without any further due let's get started.

8. People Math 

Book summary of a 60 second leadership 

People Math???🤔

We all are familiar with Math aka Mathematics. For most of us, it is the scariest subject till today. Don't be embarrassed if you are one of them.

Even I have to figure out these subjects in my school year and truth to be told I was pretty bad with it. But I managed to make it work by trying harder and probably you did the same.

There are few individuals who love it. Some of them may be your friend or other famous personality such as "Grant Cardone" and "Patrick Bet David".

Do the Math Or Millionaire Math- Grant Cardone 

Life is all about Math - Patrick Bet David 

If you don't know them, I highly recommend you follow them great stuff to learn about the sales, entrepreneurship and personal development. Now, let's get back to the author version of math.

According to the author in our life, we come across different kind of people. He categorizes them as 

1) Adders  2) Subtractors 
 3) Dividers  4) Multiplier 

1) + :- These are the people who add value. They enhance the relationship and helps in improving the team performance by working with others.

2) - :-  These are the people who only see negative. They always point out what's wrong in the situation. These are the people who take away from every relationship, though it's usually not intentional.

3) ÷ :-  These are the people similar to subtractor but, these people do it intentionally usually for their selfish needs.

4) × :-  These are the people who not only grow relationship but, they also grow others who in turn grow the team and relationships. They help in enhancing positive change and growth even when they are not around.

Key Lessons:- Here the author encourages us to become a multiplier in peoples life by nurturing and growing your relationship with them.

Conclusion:- Become a multiplier and help others grow and evolve with you. 

Avoid negative( subtractor, dividers). Beware of such personality.

So, now let me ask you.

Which personality describe you the best ?? 😉

All people from audience running out with their hands covering their mouth. The author was watching them and trying to control himself. You know what I mean 😉 some pep talk like he is fine, no problem, think good thoughts and all that stuff.

So, what happened to author? Did he??? You know what I mean to say 😅

Hello reader!!!

Welcome back to the Bookodidact🙏 A great place to read, learn and take notes. 

We are currently reading 60-second leadership" by Mike Green.

Here is a chapter 3

Book summary of a 60-second leadership

3. Leaders Treat People into Existence

"You'll lead far more effectively when you learn to treat people into existence."

The rest of the world generally focuses on what people do wrong, we must catch people doing the right things.

 Rather than seeing people where they are, we would be better to see them where they can be. These may take a little faith and encouragement but in the long term, it's very effective. 

Here is an example of an above incident from the author's life.

When the author was in the role of selling for the local company with a locally competitive mindset. His manager mentioned that he was tracking at a nationally competitive level which he was unaware. 

This statement elevated author from being locally competitive to seeing himself as a nationally competitive sales leader which he hit in a few years later.

Key Lesson:- If you want to develop a strong team irrespective of the field - learn the patience and perspective of seeing people beyond their current state.

Conclusion:- People will generally rise to our level of expectation especially with those who respect us most. 

                      If you want a great team, treat people into existence.

How are you treating the people around you??? 

Are you helping them become a better version of themselves ?? 🤔

Book summaries| 60-second leadership|Bookodidact|chapter 2

Hello reader🙋

Welcome back to the "Bookodidact".A great place to read, learn and take notes.

We are currently reading 60-second leadership by Mike Green.

Here is a chapter 2. Got Heart?

book summaries 60 second leadership chapter 2 

In this chapter, the author talks about his 15-year-old son Mitchell who plays tennis. Here is an incident from one of his match.

Mitchell was to play an 8 game set in singles. He was matched against a common foe. They both have developed a healthy respect for each other over the years.

Both boys were all in. They were being aggressive, spinning, charging the net all of the above. They both were giving a tough fight to each other. A rally went for at least 40 shorts. Neither of them gave in.

They eventually were tied at 7-7, leading to a tiebreaker. Eventually, Mitchell won the tiebreaker 8-6 and won the match.

An opponent's father came up to Mitchell after the match and complimented him. 

Key Lesson:- Here are the few lessons these boys taught us from the court.

• They just did not give in physically or mentally.

• They both showed great respect for each other never disrespecting the game with poor attitude. 

• They even encouraged each other, commenting on the great play as they went.

• They played till very end and left it all on the court.     

 My favourite lesson:-They left it all on the court. These are something we should apply to our life. Here the author trying to give us the advice to leave everything your judgement, arguments, fights wherever we started. It usually means to start fresh leaving everything behind.

 What if every person will leave everything on the court?🤔 Just imagine how beautiful life will be. Give it a thought.



Conclusion:- 1.Do your best and never give up.
                                                                                                 2. Manage your attitude and emotions.
                                                                                                  3. Show mutual respect.

                      4. Be focused.




Thank you for your attention🙏

Hope you like it and let us know what you have learned from this chapter. We are looking for your answers. Don't be selfish share this with your friends.😉

Here is our first chapter 1. Goals Drive Performance 

book summaries 60 second leadership

Who was " Tabitha"? Have you found out? If not let's see who she was.

For reading previous article -https://bookodidact.blogspot.com/2018/12/welcome-reader-lets-read-and-grow.html

In the last mile, 60 and 70-year-old men were passing the author and it didn't matter him.

Why should Tabitha be any different?

Here is the kicker 😉

Tabitha was a 7-year-old girl. Passing him in the last mile. That's right.

So, the author pride kicked in and now his revised goal was to finish a marathon, not stopping and ahead of Tabitha.

So, as she passed he got motivated and found some energy. He finished the race at 3:33:13 and Tabitha finished at 3:33:16. He was proud.

Key Lesson:- The author original goal drove him. It drove him to train and think right. It drove him to finish as planned. His new goal drove him to perform even more than planned.

What goals are driving your performance?

Please we would love to hear your goals for 2019 and how you will keep track of them.If you love the post we would request you to share these with your friends.Don't be selfish 😉

Thankyou for your attention 🙏

Welcome reader 🙏Let's read and grow

Welcome reader to Bookodidact 🙏

You must be aware till now what does these stand for. If not let me give u short info. Well, it's a combination of two words.

Book+Autodidact=Bookodidact 

Here we will be learning through books. A short summary of a chapter and its key lesson.

However, I request you to, please buy the book and contribute to authors work.

Note- Here I cannot share all the details of the chapter as you are well aware of that. I will try to tell you these chapters and key lessons in my own way with a little bit of help from the book.

Our first book is "60-second leadership by Mike Green"

Let's give some love to the author❤, here is a short info 

Let's start the chapters 

Here is chapter 1. Goals Drive Performance 

In this chapter, the author talks about his past incident, when he was just 16 years old. He was with his dad and headed to start off the Philadelphia Marathon. He had his goal to finish all 26.2 miles without stopping and to make it more challenging he had to do it under 3hrs.

Such a goal for 16 years old😲. What do you think of it and if you had such goal let us know and how it went. We all must be having it for 2019, oops I just forget something😅. Wish you all a very happy new year and may you make the most of these year letting go 2018. Have a great year and wish you a lot of success. Well, let's get back to the story.

The author completed halfway point and was feeling pretty good though that was somewhat relative because he had another 13.1 miles to go.

Something we all do to boost our confidence. We can pretty much relate to that.

18 miles into marathon pain seems to cause in his left side of leg and hip. At 22 miles he had no more pain and at 24 miles he was on autopilot mode. Something the athlete can be well aware of.

Here it gets interesting as he met Tabitha.

Tabitha?? Who was she? 

Curious??? 

Stay tuned for the answer??

Let me know your thoughts and opinions and last but not least have a great new year ✌
