I recommend reflecting on your experience with this chapter’s exercise before continuing. You can reflect about anything you found relevant, but here are some questions you may want to consider:

How did The Model compare with your models for emotions and leadership?

What other models do you use for people, emotions, and motivations?

How would you change The Model for your use?

What happens when you break down situations in your life into environments, beliefs, emotions, and behavior?

What is the difference between pleasure, happiness, and emotional reward?

Where and how might you apply The Model or your version of it in the rest of your life?

Data from Exercise

As leaders, we motivate people through their emotional systems like mechanics work on cars with wrenches and carpenters work on wood with saws. The better we know that system and the tools that work with it, the more effectively we can lead. The Model is a leadership equivalent of a schematic model for the internal combustion engine for car mechanics.
No model perfectly represents what it models. They simplify what they represent for a purpose. The purpose of The Model is to represent enough of the human emotional system to include the relevant parts for leading someone without being too complex.
First watch the three-part videos on The Model at http://spodekacademy.com/bookcourse-videos, based on my in-person course.
Then do the exercise described at the end of the third video. After watching the video, you should be familiar with The Model and its most important properties.
