A leader’s mindset affects the entirety of the group, but with the pandemic and the things it make us experience, disengagement is slowly becoming present and it’s making life a little harder to live.
Left with no choice but to find and do work in order to survive, we tend to pay more attention to that job instead of crafting the life we want. In these times, learning how to live a rhythm-organized life is necessary for you to avoid burning your entire soul out.

Key Takeaways:
“Mindset, for me, is the most critical element to leadership because not only does the leader’s mindset impact his or her ability to lead and the way they lead; it's contagious. I've always heard that a leader sets the weather. The leader’s mindset is something that he imbues, or I’ll say, emits and becomes contagious to their team, and that's something incredibly important. It changes the way teams work.” – David Taylor - Klaus
“When you stop and look at your life and take an assessment with blameless discernment, letting go of the judgment, just objectively looking at where you are and where things are going, you’ll look forward and you’ll realize, ‘If I change nothing, if I keep going the way I'm going, it's just going to keep getting worse’.” – David Taylor - Klaus
“You can wait until you hit bottom, or you can make the decision that this is the bottom and you can start taking action to change things.” – David Taylor - Klaus
