Many leaders still treat high performance as the destination. 

They double down on output, visibility, and achievement, convinced that hitting those marks means they have arrived.

The reality is different. And maybe you can relate. Maybe you, too, ask yourself what the achievement is really all about when you still don't seem satisfied despite all the success.. 

That's because for most of us, meaningful success today comes from shifting the focus inward, examining old habits, and being willing to reinvent the way we operate.

This week on The Manager Track podcast, I'm joined by Jason Jaggard, CEO of Novus Global and USA Today bestselling author of Beyond High Performance.

Jason explains why the real bottleneck is rarely skill. It is identity. Leaders cling to roles, habits, and assumptions that once helped them succeed, but now hold them back. 

When you focus on looking like a high performer, you miss the deeper work that creates reinvention and bigger contribution.

You'll learn how to:

- Use the Meta Performance question to unlock endless growth

- Find the hidden "kernel" of value inside your judgments about peers and bosses

- Apply the Athlete Mindset to your career and development

- Understand the shift from paradoxical thinking to multiaxial thinking and why senior leaders rely on it

This episode helps you look closely at how you show up in your role and what mindset shifts could help you reach the next level.
