Description

Inspired by a Super PM boot camp, Jason tackles a question that comes up whenever people are asked to step out of their comfort zone: "But is that authentic for me?" He explains why leaders can't rely on individual authenticity the way individual contributors can, since signing up to lead means doing the things that authentically motivate your team, even when they feel uncomfortable. Along the way he shares the "win $50 million" exercise, the focus, physiology, and language approach to getting into state, and two simple formulas for happiness and habit-building. This one is a challenge to measure your leadership by what moves your people forward, not by what feels natural to you.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why individuals do what motivates themselves, while leaders do what authentically motivates the team
• How focus, physiology, and language help you get into state when you have to give a speech, hold someone accountable, or have a hard conversation
• Why stretch exercises like "winning $50 million" build the muscle leaders need for high-stakes moments
• Jason's formulas for happiness (reality minus expectations) and for habit-building (trigger, habit loop, reward, and 60 days)
• Where authenticity still draws a line: anything harassing, illegal, or inappropriate is never part of the ask

When was the last time you skipped something your team needed from you because it didn't feel authentic to you?
