Summary

In this episode of the Effort Over Results podcast, host Quinn Magnuson engages in a deep conversation with Ryan Gottfredson about the importance of focusing on personal growth and emotional intelligence over mere results. They explore the concepts of vertical and horizontal development, the significance of understanding one's being side, and how heat experiences can catalyze personal transformation.

Ryan shares insights from his own journey and the frameworks he uses to help others elevate their being side, ultimately leading to more meaningful and impactful leadership.

Takeaways

High achievers often chase results, but this can lead to feeling stuck. The doing side focuses on skills and knowledge, while the being side focuses on character and emotional regulation. Most adults never develop beyond the base level of adult development. Mind 1.0 is about safety and belonging; Mind 2.0 is about standing out; Mind 3.0 is about contributing to others. Vertical development is crucial for leaders to shift from performance chasing to mindset growth. Heat experiences can catalyze personal growth and transformation. Emotional intelligence is a key component of the being side. Vulnerability in leadership fosters connection and trust. Self-awareness is the first step in understanding one's being side. The future of leadership development will focus more on vertical development than horizontal.
