How To Easily Change My Behavior To Achieve Awesome Outcomes…

I remember a couple of years ago I was listening to an interview with the then CEO of PepsiCo, Indra Nooyi…

She was saying how one evening she came home late as usual, around 9pm, after a very hectic day of fire fighting and running the company…

Just as she walked in the door her mother told her to get back in the car, go to the shop and buy some milk as we have noon left…

Indra looked at her mom and said, I’m tired and I have had such a busy day, can you send someone else?…

Mom glared at her and said, “ your not the CEO now, when you come into this house your a wife, a mom and that’s the way you should behave, now go get the milk”…

Indra, jumped in the car and fetched the milk…

Listen up…

In life we have developed a long list of behaviors that have served us very well and got us to where we are today…

Indra has developed a very strong muscle to direct managers in PepsiCo to get certain jobs done to be a profitable and successful business…

Now that’s a great behavior at work, yet, it doesn’t work too well around the home…

Most or even all are behaviors are serving some purpose and we need to know in which situation THIS BEHAVIOR is best suited…
