I can't believe I've never heard of this mental model.. thanks for sharing. It does take a little reading of the room before and after to judge effectiveness, but if we lead with good intention, we will find the right dials to turn.

Such an effective image for helping people (like me) enact "baby steps" when it comes to stretching different character traits in different situations.

Great way to break out of impostor syndrome too, and build new muscles that aren’t comfortable at first. Love this piece, Ami. The mental game for leaders is so critical to prioritize.

Doing something new always feels uncomfortable but by persisting we create new beliefs and habits.

I am going to try this visualization for sure. Always thought consistency was the key but the idea of dials is making a lot of sense to me- especially as it dawned on me that this idea of dialing up does not need to mean that all the other dials are at 0.
