🌴183. Ratebuster

Hey! Have you ever been told to slow down at work—even when you thought you were helping?On a recent hike, I was listening to 10x is Easier Than 2x and heard a phrase I’d never come across before: Rate Buster. It stopped me in my tracks—because suddenly, so many weird experiences I’d had in past roles made total sense.In this episode, I unpack:What a Rate Buster actually is (hint: it’s not a compliment in traditional workplaces)Why high performers can accidentally threaten the status quoThe tension between belonging and blazing your own trailHow to navigate the workplace if you're wired to go faster, better, differentlyWhat to do if you’re leading a Rate Buster and want to keep them inspired—not sidelinedI also share some personal reflections on when I’ve been seen as a ‘cowboy’ for trying to change things up—and how to stay generous, collaborative, and curious even when you’re miles ahead.This one’s for the rebels, the early adopters, and the “too much-ers.” 👊Let’s talk about it—have you ever been a rate buster?Pre-order my new book WORK FAME and get featured on the Wall of Work FameSign up for free for my best articles every week: Work Fame.Show notes for every episode at https://podcast.leannehughes.comLet's connect on all the channels:Leanne Hughes on LinkedInLeanne Hughes on InstagramVisit my website: leannehughes.comEmail me: [email protected] you like to deliver your own private podcast feed to your audience?
