PRIME PERFORMANCE: THIS WEEK’S BEST TRANSFORMATION TIPS & LIFE-HACKS

Neuroscientist Nicole Vignola wrote one of my favourite books last year, ‘Rewire’, and in her latest blog post she once again translates complex neuroscience into practical leadership insights. In this case it’s how deliberately seeking controlled challenges rewires your brain to better handle future stress - a biological leadership hack hiding in plain sight.

Simon Sinek really cuts to the heart of the matter here - leadership is a skill and as the man himself says, the best leaders he knows are students of the game (and if you’re showing up here, I promise to keep on bringing the knowledge to help you grow).

In just over 13 minutes, former US Navy Seal Jocko Willink and Echo Charles drop a cluster of knowledge bombs on topics like building internal confidence, handling criticism and letting go of external validation.It’s a response to a young man preparing to become a Navy SEAL who struggles with caring too much about others’ opinions, but a huge amount of it is relevant to leaders of any age.

THE PRIME PERSPECTIVE: THOUGHTS ON LEADERSHIP AND GROWTH

Be More Irrational (I’m completely serious) 

There's a damaging obsession spreading among some leaders today - the need to be seen as ‘rational’. I see it a lot right now and suspect it’s been driven by the pre-eminence of the tech industry - treating emotions as weaknesses to be suppressed rather than powers to be harnessed.

This is a leadership trend masquerading as wisdom. And it's dead wrong.

LESSONS FROM THE ARENA: REAL LIFE LEADERSHIP CHALLENGES

Every week, I'll share real challenges from coaching experiences, offering practical insights you can apply to your own leadership journey.

CHALLENGE
I’m increasingly frustrated that my leadership team seems unable to make decisions without my input. I find myself pulled into meetings that should be able to run without me, copied on emails for basic approvals and consulted on matters that my directors should be capable enough to handle independently. I need to be focused more on growing the business, so this is costing me both time and money. How do I stop getting dragged back into the weeds?

MY GUIDANCE
The ability to build a self-sufficient team isn't just about delegation, it's about creating an environment where independence is expected, but crucially it’s also enabled.
