As a member of the Catalyst Blog Team and INJOY Stewardship Solutions, I will be bringing you live updates from the much anticipated Catalyst Conference in Atlanta, GA. The theme for this year’s conference is Change Is Coming.
Day 2’s second session was conducted by Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business. The following are 11 Leadership Quotes and Lessons from this challenging.
Also, before reading, make sure you check out the announcement from INJOY Stewardship Solutions shown below about a FREE webinar I will be conducting on October 16th for churches needing to raise capital in 2015. Now onto Charles’s thoughts:
- We’re living through a golden age of neurology of how habits work.
- 40-45% of what we do everyday is not a choice but a habit.
- The Habit Loop says every habit has a Cue, a Routine, and a Reward. The Reward is how the brain latches onto automatic behavior.
- Make sure the reward is actually rewarding.
- Habits only take hold if the reward is actually rewarding to the person creating the habit.
- What Starbucks sells is customer service.
- Starbucks sells you an experience.
- Will power is the single greatest predictor of future success.
- If you can give kids will power, it is the single greatest variable to future success.
- Starbucks teaches people life skills.
- The most powerful rewards contain emotions.
More leadership insights to come throughout the day.
