Episode 2 Recap
Paul's Take: How Heart-Centered Leadership Drives Action

Episode Summary

In this episode, Paul Epstein reflects on his conversation with Merrill Hoge about the importance of leading from the heart. He introduces the head-heart-hands equation, stating that when both the head and heart are on board with a decision, it's a green light to take action. If neither is on board, it's a red light to stop. However, when one is on board, it's a yellow light, and Paul encourages finding a way and staying in the fight. He cautions against justifying things for external validation and emphasizes the need for honesty and authenticity.

Key Takeaways

  • Finding a way and leading from the heart is crucial for personal and professional success.
  • Prioritize happiness, success, significance, and fulfillment in decision-making.
  • Avoid justifying things for external validation or remaining in toxic situations.
  • Be honest with oneself and lead from the heart.
  • Stay committed to the fight, even if the head hasn't caught up yet, as long as the heart is on board.
