SMALL SHIFTS IN MINDSET ARE POWERFUL
On this bonus episode, Adam talks about the relationship between hope, fear, and faith, and how to cultivate a strong mindset that can handle the challenges you will face as a business leader. Adam frames the discussion through the survival story of Admiral James Stockdale.
Stockdale was a prisoner of war for almost 8 years during the Vietnam war. He was able to survive and thrive through and beyond this trying experience through faith, while hope held others back. Author Jim Collins described what Stockdale experienced as the “Stockdale Paradox,” where optimism and hope seemed to be killing other POWs in the camp. Collins wrote about Admiral Stockdale’s story in the book Good to Great.
