This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth.  Would you consider yourself to be an open-minded leader? I have worked with so many people who are closed minded in many of their beliefs, which are most often a product of what they experienced in the past. When we talk about leading with an open-mind, it isn’t meant to encourage you to throw your beliefs out the window or cast them aside. Leading with an open mind will help you look at all sides of an argument, a way to go about finding solutions and get out of the way of conflict, whether in business, teambuilding or in your own relationships.  According to an article from “SmartBlog on Leadership, Jane Perdue shares several ways to lead with an open mind: Stop the power trip, Stay attuned and seek out feedback from others. Nurture tolerance. Don’t be so quick to believe that other opinions are wrong or foolish. Think big and synthesize new and bold ideas from others. Don’t strangle them because it goes against your conventional wisdom. For you to be an effective leader in any area of your life, you’ll find much more success when you lead with an open mind.  This has been Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day… Now, go out and be fruitful!

Jason Hartman interviews research scientist, Heidi Grant Halvorson regarding the science behind human motivation and success. There are many successful people in the world who are highly motivated and have concise goals, but how many actually understand why they're successful or why they fail? The common belief is that certain people are just genetically wired to succeed or fail. Heidi states this is not entirely the case and shares the findings of scientific research on achievement. She talks about strategies that people use, principles that people can count on and apply to their own life, and states that our own intuition about what helps us succeed or causes us to fail can often be incorrect. It's not about ability or IQ. Heidi explains the psychological factors behind how people react to challenges, the beliefs and mindsets that people have as they try to reach a goal. Defining success is personal, dependent on an individual's sense of well-being, lasting happiness and autonomy. She says it's important to be specific about goals, to break them down into manageable, specific pieces that are planned out with when and where, and taking the time to define success for ourselves. Jason and Heidi also discuss the relationship between money and happiness, expressing that there is a money point where it does make it easier to make choices and pursue the things individuals find interesting in life, plus containing a sense of accomplishment and opening the door to help others. Unhappiness comes about when a person makes and uses their money for the wrong reasons, lacking sensibility, leading to dissatisfaction. Heidi emphasizes motivation and realistic goals are important. Jason shares his own opinion on wealth, noting that, on the one hand, having more “things” can actually become a burden, but it does allow a person to help others and create experiences and memories. Heidi states that what people do with their wealth is the important factor for fulfillment and happiness.
