Managing Your Habits for Success: How to Improve at Work and in Life by Paying Attention to Your Habits

by Danny Zelaya

Overview

Becoming a better leader begins with managing your habits. 

Every day we tend to repeat the same habits. We check our mobile phones constantly throughout the day, delay important tasks, dwell on the past, and multitask during meetings. We repeat our habits with the same end results. You want to become a better leader, but sometimes the things you repeatedly do are the very things that hinder you from achieving your potential.

The problem with habits is you can repeat them without being aware of what you're doing, keeping you from becoming the leader you want to be. To realize your potential, you must pay attention to what you don't normally pay attention to-your habits.

In Managing Your Habits for Success, you will learn:

• How to become self-aware of your thoughts, beliefs, and habits
• The role your beliefs play in supporting and changing your habits
• How your environment influences your beliefs and habits
• The secret to determining and achieving what you want to do

You can have more control of your life by changing the repeated thoughts and habits that aren't working for you. Take a step toward achieving your potential in life and leadership by managing your habits for success.
