How Your State of Mind Affects Your Performance

We selected 18 states of mind and surveyed leaders around
the world on how often they experience each one, the impact
of each on their effectiveness and performance, and what they
do to manage their states of mind. To date, we have surveyed
and interviewed over 740 leaders
