“ The average leader spends two hours a day arguing with reality, an argument you will surely lose 100 percent of the time. As a leader, when you argue with reality, you not only waste valuable resources, but also move away from the actual facts of a situation … assigning motive, making assumptions and manufacturing a false future. In this new mental “story,” you often paint yourself as a helpless victim at the mercy of a villain. Adopting such an antidotal view of your world will lead to ineffective decision-making and missed opportunities.
