Pressure, Mistakes & the Psychology of High Performance | Silvia Rizzo

from The James Ibezim Podcast · host James

What happens to your ability to make good decisions when the pressure is on and there is no perfect answer?In elite sport and business, decisions have consequences. Mistakes become visible, information is often incomplete, and leaders are expected to perform even when everything starts going wrong.In this episode, I sit down with Silvia Rizzo, who works at the intersection of high-performance sport and business, focusing on leadership, decision-making, error management, and mental resilience.We explore what pressure does to the way we think, how great leaders should respond to mistakes, how to build cultures where people can admit errors, and what genuine resilience looks like.We also discuss what business leaders can learn from elite sport and how to make better decisions when the outcome is uncertain.Because perhaps great leadership isn't about making the right decision every time. It's about knowing what to do when the decision turns out to be wrong.Learn more about Silvia Rizzo and her work:https://www.hofmarabuntablog.com/
