David Yeager: 10 to 25 David Yeager is a professor of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin and the cofounder of the Texas Behavioral Science and Policy Institute. He is best known for his research conducted with Carol Dweck, Angela Duckworth, and Greg Walton on short but powerful interventions that influence adolescent behaviors such as motivation, engagement, healthy eating, bullying, stress, mental health, and more. He is the author of 10 to 25: The Science of Motivating Young People (Amazon, Bookshop)*. Older generations have been complaining about younger generations for all of recorded history. Today is no different, and I often hear how leaders are struggling with motivating their younger employees. In this conversation, David and I explore the most recent research and practice for what actually works. Key Points Older generations have been complaining about younger generations for all of recorded history. Often, our complaints are the result of our own past experiences. Many leaders experience the mentor's dilemma: being nice and putting up with poor performance, or being critical and demanding higher performance. Status and respect for a young person are as critical as food and sleep to a baby. When satisfied, they can open up much better motivation and behavior. The mentor mindset embraces both high standards and high support for the young person you wish to motivate. Because this is a mindset, you can absolutely get better at it. When giving feedback to a young person, acknowledge the high standard you are setting and also tell the young person that you believe they can meet that standard. Young people have often experienced a lot of “enforcing” behavior from parents, teachers, and coaches. They assume this in the workplace if you don't make a point to say otherwise.

SummaryMentorship · Youth Development · Leadership · Education · High Expectations · Psychological Safety · Identity Formation · Communication · Respect · AgencyIn this episode of Lassoing Leadership, Jason Rogers and Garth Nichols reflect on their recent conversation with psychologist and author David Yeager, and what it means for anyone leading, teaching, parenting, or mentoring young people today.At the centre of the conversation is what Yeager calls the mentor mindset — the idea that young people don't need less structure or fewer expectations, but better leadership. Leadership that combines high standards with deep respect, clarity with care, and authority with credibility.Jason and Garth explore why mattering is such a powerful driver of motivation, how adolescence now stretches well beyond age 18, and why many of our leadership instincts — especially in schools — haven't kept pace with that reality. The episode also tackles the often-tricky work of communicating change with parents and invites leaders to ask an uncomfortable but essential question: What if the work starts with us?This episode is about raising the quality of leadership, not lowering the bar — and about creating environments where young people can grow into who they're becoming, not just perform for today.Key Take AwaysThis may be the closest thing we've seen to an instruction manual for raising and leading teenagers.Mentorship isn't a title or a long-term relationship — it's a mindset.Young people thrive when high expectations are paired with high support.Status, stability, and respect matter more than we often realize.Mattering and purpose are deeply intertwined — one fuels the other.Adolescence doesn't end at 18, and our leadership models need to catch up.The next generation doesn't need softer leadership — it needs better leadership.Change in schools lives or dies on how well we communicate with parents.Students can be powerful advocates for growth — even at home.If we want different outcomes, we have to raise the quality of our leadership and teaching.The Mentor Mindset: Leading Young People WellHigh Expectations, High Support: Rethinking Leadership for YouthSoundbites:“What if we're the problem?”“This isn't about lowering the bar — it's about raising the quality of leadership.”“Coaching over commanding.”“Mattering changes everything.”“This is a virtuous cycle — when respect goes up, effort follows.”Time Stamps00:00 – Introduction & Recent Experiences05:31 – The Mentor Mindset: What Yeager Gets Right08:26 – Why High Expectations and High Support Matter12:14 – Mattering, Respect, and Motivation15:28 – Adolescence, Identity, and Who Young People Are Becoming18:21 – Why Leadership Hasn't Kept Up21:08 – Communicating Change with Parents23:47 – Final Reflections & Next Episode Teaser

Harnessing Adolescence: The Key to Effective LeadershipWhat does it really take to guide young people through the most formative years of their lives? In this episode, Jason Rogers and Garth Nichols sit down with psychologist David Yeager to explore leadership, psychology, and education through the lens of adolescence.Together, they unpack why the years between ages 10 and 25 matter so much for identity, motivation, and resilience. From the pitfalls of outdated “incompetence” models of youth development to the transformative power of mentorship, Yeager shows how leaders in schools and beyond can empower rather than discourage.The conversation also takes on timely issues like the role of AI in education, and closes with a familiar touchstone: Ted Lasso's evolving leadership style—from protector to mentor—and what it teaches us about leading with care, curiosity, and high expectations.Key Take AwaysIdentity is formed most powerfully between ages 10–25.Effective mentorship is about long-term growth, not short-term fixes.High expectations + strong support = lasting success.Shame and blame don't motivate; care and standards do.Crying in education can reflect deep care and commitment.Rejecting the “incompetence model” empowers youth.AI in education should be embraced cautiously and critically.The best educators and leaders model a mentor mindset.Ted Lasso reminds us: leadership evolves when we let go of control and focus on growth.Chapters00:00 – Introduction: Leadership and Empathy04:59 – Understanding Adolescence: The Critical Years07:43 – The Mentor Approach in Education13:19 – Motivating Adolescents: High Expectations and Support18:37 – Challenging the “Incompetence” Model22:52 – Rehabilitating Adolescence: A New Perspective24:38 – Exemplary Models in Education and Coaching28:28 – The Promise & Peril of AI in Education35:35 – Leadership Lessons from Ted Lasso38:22 – Beard's Book Club OutroSoundbites“It's not about being a protector or enforcer.”“AI in schools needs careful evaluation.”“We should stop moralizing teenagers as lazy.”

Keywordsleadership, mentorship, adolescence, education, growth mindset, communication, David Yeager, Beards Book Club, youth development, parentingSummaryIn this episode of Beards Book Club, Garth Nichols and Jason Rogers explore the book '10 to 25' by Dr. David Yeager, which challenges traditional views on adolescence. They discuss the importance of understanding the ages 10 to 25 as a period rich with opportunities for growth rather than a time to merely survive. The conversation delves into three mindsets—enforcer, protector, and mentor—highlighting the significance of adopting a mentor mindset to foster better communication and development in young people. The hosts emphasize the role of tone and communication in leadership, the utility of puberty, and the need for a supportive environment that encourages growth. They invite listeners to reflect on their own approaches to mentoring and leadership, encouraging a shift towards partnership and understanding in guiding adolescents.TakeawaysThe ages 10 to 25 are opportunity-rich for growth.Mindsets in education can significantly impact youth development.The mentor mindset fosters partnership and faith in adolescents.Effective communication is key in leadership roles.Metaphors can make complex ideas more relatable and memorable.Puberty should be viewed as a time of potential, not just a challenge.Feedback should be seen as a collaborative process, not punitive.Creating a supportive environment is crucial for adolescent growth.Understanding the emotional changes during puberty can enhance mentorship.Soundbites:"Let's reframe the years, ages 10 to 25.""Puberty is the hardware upgrade.""How might you find that third path?"Chapters00:00 - Introduction to Beards Book Club and Adolescence03:35 - Understanding the 10 to 25 Age Range06:22 - Mindsets in Education: Enforcer, Protector, and Mentor09:10 - The Importance of Tone and Communication12:04 - Metaphors and Analogies in Learning14:26 - Reframing Puberty: A New Perspective16:59 - The Utility of Puberty and Growth Mindset17:42 - Challenges and Invitations for Growth

Do you ever wonder whether you belong?
Jo Linden and I discuss the mentor mindset, what it is, and how to do it well, based on the book 10 to 25 by David Yeager.It turns out that the problem with young people today is that older people didn't do their homework and learn the best way to support them based on young people's developmental priorities. David Yeager does the homework for us in his research that goes into this directly applicable book.If you know or work with any young people (or people who work with young people), you'll find amazing insights in 10 to 25.Learn more about Jo and her work with youth-serving adults at: https://www.lindenconnects.com/schools.
What do you think of this episode? Do you have any topics you'd like me to cover?We'd all love our children to breeze through school, enjoying a satisfying academic life, having lots of friends, and coming out at the end feeling a success. But what if you have a child that doesn't thrive in an academic environment? What if they can't or won't do the work? How do you deal with it and what techniques can you use to motivate them?According to eminent psychologist, Dr David Yeager, when kids hit puberty they're primarily looking for experiences that give them social status and respect.He says the common belief that teens and young adults are lazy and incompetent causes us to miss what really motivates them, and do some pretty dumb things that don't help.In his book, 10-25: The Science of How to Motivate Young People, Yeager - who's ranked as one of the top 0.1% most-influential psychologists in the world - explains how the science of motivating young people can help us to harness their drive for social status and a growth mindset so they're motivated to achieve their best.BOOK:10-25: The Science of Motivating Young PeopleDAVID YEAGER: Author/Professor/Scientistyeagerds@austin.utexas.eduTED Talks: Sir Ken Robinson Do schools kill creativity?https://www.ted.com/talks/sir_ken_robinson_do_schools_kill_creativity?language=enBooks referenced:The Self-Driven Child by William Stixrud and Ned JohnsonThe Gift of Failure by Jessica LaheyThrivers by Michele BorbaSupport the showThank you so much for your support.

In this episode, I talk with David Yeager about what really fuels motivation and a sense of belonging for our kids—especially neurodivergent ones. We unpack the different mindsets adults bring to the table—like enforcer, protector, and mentor—and how shifting into a mentor mindset can help kids feel respected, understood, and more engaged. David shares powerful insights about what helps adolescents thrive, and we explore how things like trust, connection, and belief in a child's potential can make all the difference.

Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with David Yeager, professor of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin and cofounder of the Texas Behavioral Science and Policy Institute. David is best known for his research conducted with Carol Dweck, Angela Duckworth, and Greg Walton on short but powerful interventions that influence adolescent behaviors such as motivation, engagement, healthy eating, bullying, stress, mental health, and more. David recently published his latest book “10 to 25: The Science of Motivating Young People: A Groundbreaking Approach to Leading the Next Generation―And Making Your Own Life Easier” which quickly became a national bestseller. Here's a universal truth: Parents and leaders alike constantly worry about their next generation – are they ready, are they responsible, will they be able to make it on their own, etc. It's a tale as old as time. David shares his views and research on what is going on there and why that dynamic is so universally present across time, cultures, and socio-economic contexts. This dynamic repeats itself again and again, and so many parents and leaders fall into this trap repeatedly. But is there a solution? Is there a better way to interact with and motivate young people, and if so, what is it? David illuminates these questions from the perspective of his life's work and his most recent research. One critical and powerful practical tool David talks about in his book is language and communication style. David shares his observations on the importance of language and how parents and leaders can communicate more effectively with the younger generation. An important practical topic David emphasizes to parents and leaders is the very real and notable rise in stress and anxiety among young people. He provides his insights into what both next-gen members and the older generation and those in positions of power should know and be doing to manage and alleviate this rising and damaging trend. Enjoy this informative conversation with a leading researcher, adviser and best-selling author in the field of next-gen engagement and motivation.

Notes: The Pete and Leona story - What will people say about you at your funeral? "They changed my life and the lives of my entire family." Tough love out of 100% care for you. Be tough AND supportive. Don't lower your standards. High standards. High support. 10 to 25 - Find the right trigger for motivation. Find out what they care about. They need meaning and significance. They want status and earned respect. Are children less afraid of their parents now than they used to be? Dan Gilbert calls this the "illusion of moral decline." It's been happening for 75 years. The Parental Nagging Study - A common tactic adults use to get teens to “pay attention.” Research shows that nagging triggers the emotional part of a teen's brain, shutting down their ability to think logically. They're not ignoring you on purpose—they're simply wired to tune out. A better way? Speak calmly and neutrally to engage the part of their brain that handles planning and decision-making. This opens the door to real conversation. Satya Nadella's Model, Coach, Care philosophy at Microsoft. This is the opposite of Jack Welch's rank and yank style at GE. Remember, the stack ranking methodology limited innovation and stopped people from taking any type of risk. We want to model the right behavior, coach others, and ensure they know we care for them so they feel the support they need to take risks, sometimes fail, get back up, and work to innovate. Theory X = Rank and yank. It stifled innovation for fear of failure and getting fired. Theory Y = No stack rankings. Built on connecting leaders with their people. Still high standards and demanding. Followed the "Model, Coach, Care" methodology. This is what's happening today at Microsoft. Be a place where people want to work. The Mentor's Dilemma - Stef Okamoto - honest, direct, and supportive. The "mentor's dilemma" refers to the challenge of balancing honest, critical feedback to young people while still maintaining their motivation and self-esteem, as this age group can be particularly sensitive to perceived criticism and may easily feel discouraged or disrespected if not approached carefully; essentially, it's the struggle between pushing someone to improve and potentially damaging their confidence by being too harsh. The mentor mindset: A mentor mindset can be adopted by using practices such as validating young people's perspectives, asking them questions, and holding them to high standards. Questioning – Kate, a mom of two who lives in Chicago, whose oldest son was a sophomore came home one night from a party drunk and high. Kate responded with a combination of yelling and prosecuting… She instigated an interrogation and not a two-way conversation. Instead of interrogating, get curious. They had a reason for what they did. Figure out why. What's your plan? Ask questions to get them to own their thinking and share it with you. Advice - Don't accept some perceived path. Be reliable, show up, do the work, and ask for more work. Add surplus value. Whatever you're being paid, focus on delivering 10x more value. Find a way to do that and your employer will beg to give you a raise and promote you.

If you're a parent, teacher, coach, or manager who lives, loves, and works with tweens, teens, and 20s-somethings, you know that young people sometimes act in seemingly head-scratching ways, that you don't always feel like you're being listened to, and that it can be frustrating to try to guide them in acting towards positive ends.The source of these challenges is often chalked up to the underdeveloped brains and hormones that tweens through young twenty-somethings possess. But my guest would say that what's more to blame is the ineffective way mentors often approach young adults.David Yeager is a developmental psychologist and the author of 10 to 25: The Science of Motivating Young People: A Groundbreaking Approach to Leading the Next Generation—And Making Your Own Life Easier. Today on the show, David and I discuss the “mentor's dilemma” — the idea that you either have to be a tough authoritarian who holds young adults to high standards or a softie push-over who doesn't crush a kid's spirit — and how to navigate through this unnecessary dichotomy. David explains the critical importance of understanding what really drives young adults, what approaches cause them to shut down and disengage, and the best practices that parents, teachers, and other mentors can take to leave young adults feeling inspired, enthusiastic, and ready to contribute.Connect With David YeagerTexas Behavioral Science and Policy InstituteDavid's faculty page
