So much of leadership is about the ability to perform at the highest levels - under pressure, day after day, commercially, mentally, emotionally. Key to this is the skill that lies in intelligently anticipating and rapidly adapting to an everchanging environment. High performance athletes are masters at this - anticipating and reading the game as it plays out and quickly adapting their game plan, strategy and playing style to meet the new challenges they face at any given moment in time.
This week, The New P&L – Principles & Leadership in Business podcast series speaks to former professional football manager, now Performance Coach, Board Advisor and CEO of The Leaders Advisory, Tony Walmsley. After two decades managing high performance athletes on the football field, Tony transferred the considerable skills he had honed and applied them to the board room, working with CEOs, board members and senior management teams to help increase their business performance. We discuss with Tony the psychology of high performance; the effect of the 'always on' culture in business and what leaders need to do to build greater trust, authenticity, and transparency with their key stakeholders.
