ABSTRACT
This chapter defines the concept of a mindset. It begins with the central component 'meta-reflection'. Working knowledge is concerned with unpacking the vital mix of variables that influence the form and content of leaders' mindsets. Leaders' mindsets are incredibly important regarding change leadership outcomes, yet, sadly, the practice of meta-reflecting towards their mindset is, again, not a standard change leadership practice. Modality frame directives have a structural composition. The somatic anchor is the posture we adopt when we think about the modality frame directive. In contrast to a somatic anchor are visual anchors. A belief is simply what we hold to be true about the attitude object that is driving the construction and maintenance of the modality frame directive. The nature of an attitude can be inferred from leaders' behaviour and therefore the neuro-linguistic programming technique of calibration is so important. Meta-programmes are biased compasses of the mind that lead us to behave in very specific ways.
