By drawing on examples from the Harvard Business Review article, explain how positive intelligence relates to increased productivity and creativity in life.

A

Instead of being subtractive the Burts Bees management focused on praising their employees which led to the company being more successful.

People increase their productivity and creating when they are happier and work wasn’t causing their anxiety levels to go up.

Intelligence is actionable knowledge that can also be seen as a skill. Knowledge is just information that you don’t do anything with. Because intelligence is actionable, it is more valuable than knowledge.

Q

Please give a brief explanation of the 3 major conclusions drawn from the Mundanity of Excellence research.

A
  1. Excellence is a qualitative phenomenon meaning doing more does not mean you are doing better. You don’t always need to do more, but have better quality effort.
  2. Talent is a useless concept. Skills are more important because those are what lead to success.
  3. Excellence is mundane. You have to do the actions and create habits and be very intentional and exact with your actions.
109
Q

Why is it so important to hold ourselves accountable?

A

If you’re not the one in control and holding yourself accountable then you allow the world to hold you accountable on its terms. Your mind needs to know that someone cares about its actions and when you hold yourself accountable you are the one that cares and puts yourself in control.

Q

Name the 5 areas of your journal and the purpose of each one.

A

  2. Plan - action items of the skills you want to work on. They are things you can constantly have on your mind until it become muscle memory
  3. Strengths - You can focus on what actions you did well. Train the brain to focus on what you are doing good and what is working
  4. Improve - Find things that you can do better on but not labeling it as your weakness. Constantly improving yourself.
  5. Evaluation - Take a step back and see how the day went. You can focus on specific areas if needed.
111
Q

What happens if you set the wrong goals?

A

If the goal is too far in advance then it can be in the clouds and you won’t think about it everyday. Setting goals too far in advance can also occupy the mind with fear and put you in a subtractive pattern. You also won’t have the skill set to accomplish your goals. Want goals to be about a month at a time so you can focus on the objective

112
Q

According to Napoleon Hill, what is the most critical thing for all high performing and successful people to have? Explain.

A

Most critical thing for you to have is a purpose. Purpose gives you direction on where to go and creates motive. If you don’t have motive then you will do something until there is no pressure and then you will just coast. Purpose gives you the motive on where to go and to keep doing it and to keep improving.

115
Q

Why do we need to set objectives that are in our direct control?

A

You need to set objectives in your control so that you can have your own expectations. Part of goal setting is knowing who you are and mastering yourself. If you set goals outside of your control and then you execute your plan but don’t get the outcome, you think you failed because of something outside of your control. When you fall short then you react and get in an avoidant pattern of thinking.
