The Thinking Advantage

The biggest advantage a leader has is not what they do, but how they think. When you change how you think, all kinds of healthy actions, habits, & results follow. But if we are to change how we think, we have to intentionally think about our thinking. Yeah, our brain hurts saying that sentence too. But it's true! Pastor Q talks about the thinking advantage & how we can grow as better thinkers in our lives & organization. For more on this, check out John Maxwell's book "How Successful People Think," and the 11 traits below.
