Leadership When Things Go Wrong | Silvia Rizzo
from The Honest Mic Hosted by Fortune
Leadership is easy to talk about when everything is going according to plan. The real test comes when a decision goes wrong, a mistake becomes visible, the pressure rises, and everyone is watching what you do next. Silvia Rizzo works at the intersection of high-performance sport and business, drawing on years of experience in environments where mistakes are visible, outcomes matter, and performance is tested in real time. Her work focuses on leadership, decision-making, error management, and mental resilience when the stakes are high. Rather than relying on rehearsed frameworks or motivational soundbites, Silvia brings a practical perspective shaped by what actually happens when things don't go according to plan. In this episode of The Honest Mic, Silvia explores what pressure reveals about leaders, how high performers can respond to mistakes without losing credibility, what sport can teach business about responsibility and decision-making, and why the way a leader handles an error can matter more than the error itself. We also get into the uncomfortable side of high performance: what happens when the expectation to perform becomes part of the problem, and how leaders can make better decisions when there isn't a perfect answer available. If you're stepping into higher-stakes decisions and learning how to stay composed when things don't go your way, this conversation is for you.
