Leadership Lessons From Tokyo: What the Olympics taught us

Episode #155 // Earlier this month, the Tokyo Olympics provided a welcome distraction from some of the other pressing global issues that have dominated our attention for what seems like an eternity!I couldn’t help but notice the stark leadership lessons that came from watching elite athletes striving to make their long-term vision a reality. These opportunities don’t come around often, so being on your game (on the day) is all-important. For these athletes and coaches, it’s a much less forgiving environment than most of us operate in.So what can we learn about strategy? About delivering in the ‘clutch’ moments when performing under extreme pressure? And what is the surprising lesson on diversity? These seven leadership lessons are sure to give us all pause for thought.// To celebrate the publication of my book No Bullsh!t Leadership, we’re bringing you a free virtual launch event on the 31st August (1st September in Australia)!
