Episode #307 // There’s a lot to be said for having confidence. It’s an essential ingredient for any leader who aspires to lift their people to greater heights.

Without confidence, it’s difficult to effectively execute on even the most fundamental tasks that competent leadership requires.

Confidence is incredibly valuable… and you can’t fake it!

But, I feel as though it’s been getting a bad rap lately — confidence comes with a range of negative connotations, and those who are less confident often mistake it for insincerity, bluster, or even the inappropriate use of power.

My observation, made over many years operating at the highest levels, is that confidence is an essential ingredient of high performance leadership.

This is why it’s so important to focus on your own level of confidence, to understand what you need to do to increase it, and to know how to keep the dark side of confidence at bay.

Moment #77 // We’re all driven, to a greater or lesser extent, by unconscious biases. These invisible forces hijack our cognitive processes, and impair our decision-making capacity.

The only way to break free from the bonds of unconscious bias is to develop an acute awareness of the ones that affect you… especially when the pressure is on!

In this Moment, I look at five of the most common biases that I see play out, even in the most intelligent, capable, experienced executives I work with.

If you want to take a deeper dive into how you can avoid the fallacy of subconscious bias, have a listen to Ep.192: Avoiding Common Biases.

Episode #306 // I’ve always been fascinated by people who transcend the limits of human performance, in any field. They lead the way, expanding our perspective on what’s possible and giving us something to aspire to.

When we look at the microcosm of our own team’s performance, we are the ones who get to choose the standard, so it’s useful to reflect on what each of us perceives to be exceptional performance.

Unfortunately, so many leaders bandy around the term “high performance” that it’s at risk of becoming a meaningless cliché.

How do we give ourselves a reality check? What do we use as a benchmark? How do we calibrate our efforts and set our own sights on what we might consider to be superior performance?

Stopping every so often to take a few deep breaths and look at what the best of the best are doing in their quest to achieve world class performance helps us to calibrate our own standards.

In this episode, I take a closer look at some of the truly exceptional performers who have redefined what’s possible — and I give you some step-by-step, practical guidance that you can action immediately, in order to move just that little bit closer to true leadership performance.
