06. How good leaders accidentally behave like bad managers


Listen Later

Pressure is the real test of leadership.

Not strategy, not vision, not even experience—but what you do in the moment when something goes wrong, time is running out, and everyone is looking to you for direction.

The good news? Handling pressure is a skill. And in this episode, I break down exactly how to build it.

What’s covered:

* Why pressure is actually the most reliable indicator of leadership potential—and how it’s created opportunities in my own career

* The four stress-based reactions that turn good leaders into bad managers, with real examples of what each looks like in the workplace

* The Three P’s framework: a practical method for retraining your response under pressure in real time

* Why retraining your behaviour only goes so far—and what resolving the trigger behind the trigger actually involves

If you want to be the leader people look to when things go sideways, not the one they worry about, this episode is where to start.
