The Monday Morning Mindset Shift Every Great Leader Needs
It’s 9am Monday and your inbox already feels like a battlefield. Sound familiar?
For too many leaders, Monday sets the tone for a week of reactivity, stress and scattered priorities but as I see it often, as a mindset and leadership coach, and break down in my LinkedIn newsletter, the difference between leaders who thrive and those who just survive lies in how they start their week.
And more specifically, the questions they ask themselves before 9am.
Backed by behavioural science and years of executive coaching experience, I share 5 powerful questions I use with Australia’s top-performing leaders to shape their mindset, energy, and actions from the get-go.
From assessing the emotional tone you bring into the workplace, to confronting the mental drain of avoided decisions, these questions are designed to cut through the noise and bring you back to what truly drives impact.
One of the most striking reminders? Unchecked interruptions and emotional contagion aren’t just leadership buzzwords, they’re measurable factors in your team’s productivity and engagement.
The beauty of this method lies in its simplicity. These are not fluffy affirmations, they’re tactical mindset prompts that help you lead with clarity, focus and intention. The article also offers a practical implementation plan, ensuring these questions aren’t just inspiring but actionable.
If you’re an executive or team leader craving more than just survival mode, this is the Monday blueprint worth bookmarking.
