Model: Leadership & Motivation

Habits run on a loop: cue → craving → response → reward. Make good loops easy and satisfying; break bad ones by keeping the cue and reward but changing the routine.

Align your state, story and strategy; order matters.

A neutral cue paired with a meaningful event can come to trigger the response on its own.

Think backwards: define failure and remove its causes; ask the inverse question to see blind spots.

A practical way to align what you love, what you’re good at, what the world needs, and what pays—while honouring small, everyday sources of meaning.

Prioritise by importance, not urgency: Do, Schedule, Delegate, or Eliminate.

Operate where you truly understand cause and effect; stay inside the circle, expand it deliberately, and partner outside it.

Borrowed from chemistry and habit design: reduce the upfront effort to make the desired action easier than the default.

Focus where importance intersects with control. Act directly on what matters and you can change; influence or ignore the rest.

A practical lens for how people approach problems: low-agency waits for circumstances; high-agency creates options and moves first.
