The discussion focuses on Scott’s book The Mentally Strong Leader and the leadership principles laid out in the book. Central themes which emerge through the discussion include an exploration of the concept of mental strength which is the ability to regulate thoughts, behaviors and actions in the face of adversity; the ability to manage internally to lead better externally; six mental muscles which make up mental strength (fortitude, boldness, confidence, decision-making, goal focused, messaging). These mental muscles are explored in depth in theory and application emphasizing how they come together to foster strong leadership.
