Reshape Your Thinking: Skills and Tools for Effective Leadership

By Rodney Tompkins

All effective leaders have one thing in common: They know how to get buy-in. Even the most competent leaders in the world can’t get anything done without support. If you want to lead effectively, what can you do to get that buy-in?
In Reshape Your Thinking: Skills and Tools for Effective Leadership, leadership and self-development expert Shawn Singleton II explains exactly that. Beginning with the understanding that buy-in comes from knowing how to plan and have strong character, Singleton equips listeners with the tools they need to identify plans that work for leaders and their values. In the course, Singleton explains when and how to take action, how to assess and develop your character, and more. He also shares exercises so you can begin putting what you’ve learned into practice.
If you’re looking to step up your leadership game, you might just need the right tools. Check out Shawn Singleton II’s course and see what happens.

Introduction

Hi, I’m Shawn Singleton, and this is Reshape Your Thinking, a course by Scribd Coach.

Effective leaders have one thing in common, no matter their area of expertise. They know how to get buy-in. That buy-in is essential to getting work done. You can be the most competent leader in the world, but you will never get anything done unless you have support.

Two of the most critical factors that come into play when discussing buy-in are knowing how to plan and having a strong character, which we will cover in this course. I want to equip you with the skills and tools you need to identify plans that work for you and your values.

During the next few units, you will learn how to be the most effective leader possible, and we’ll teach you tricks to improve your planning, things you want to avoid, and how to take control of a situation. Know that simply by taking the initiative to invest your time in this course, you are making the first step towards progress. You are one step closer to achieving your goals, and I am excited to be on this journey with you!

I encourage you to find a quiet place to listen to this course, somewhere free of distractions, and take notes as we go. We are going to cover a lot of information in this course. Writing it down will not only help you refer back to it at a later date when you need some inspiration, but it will also hold you accountable for what you said you wanted to achieve. Sometimes the simple act of writing something down is all we need to push us to succeed.

Before we get into it, I want to share a bit about myself. My name is Shawn Singleton, but many people call me Coach Shawn. I’m a 2021 CREA Award winner, Brainz Executive Contributor, and author of Brick by Brick: Reshape Your Thinking.

On top of that, I have spent the last 14 years learning what it takes to develop habits
