The Most Overlooked Habit of High Performers

The Leadwell Podcast

Ever found yourself running on empty in the leadership race, not because you lack drive, but simply because you forgot to refuel? This episode is your pit stop! We spend some quality time advocating for a high performer's most overlooked habit: the strategic pause or the retreat. It's not about raising a white flag but making a calculated move to refuel, reassess and get back on track with renewed vigor. Learn from the fast-paced world of race car driving and their regular pit stops, and understand how this habit can be your secret weapon in the leadership race. We break down the significance of scheduling retreats, gearing up for them, remaining present, and utilizing the gleaned insights to turbocharge your leadership journey.
Now, picture this - your team, not just performing at their best but also coaching others to do the same. Sounds like the dream, doesn't it? Let's get practical and explore how you can lead better by coaching better. From setting the right example, creating clear expectations for your team, providing them with active listening tools, guiding them through the discovery process, and keeping them accountable to their plans - we've got it all covered in this episode. And it doesn't stop there, we also delve into the importance of applauding your team when they don the coach's hat. Listen in, and return to the leadership race, not just as a participant, but as a game-changer.
