Bite Size: The Reality of Leading Australia’s Largest Bank + The Seesaw Of Ambivalence | Matt Comyn

from Performance Intelligence · host Andrew May

Most people want the title of CEO but very few want the weight that comes with it. When you’re at the head of Australia’s largest bank, Commbank, there’s no hiding. No delegation of ultimate responsibility. Sometimes that means sitting alone at night reading a 600-page document because if your name is on it...you own it.In this Bite Size, Matt Comyn shares what leadership actually feels like at that level. The pressure. The self-doubt. The constant balancing act when expectations — external and internal — start to tip. And the mental discipline he uses to steady himself before small cracks become big ones.If you lead a team, carry responsibility, or aspire to — this is a rare look at what it really demands.
