In this episode of ScaleUp Radio, host Kevin Brent dives into the fascinating intersection of motorsports and leadership with Dr. Tarek Jomaa. Dr. Jomaa’s journey from a PhD in vehicle dynamics and motorsports engineering to leadership training offers unique perspectives on building high-performance teams and scaling businesses.

Dr. Jomaa introduces the 4C Model – Consolidation, Clarity, Consistency, and Collaboration – a framework that parallels the precision of motorsports to create and sustain high-performing teams. From understanding non-linear thinking in decision-making to balancing the roles of technician, entrepreneur, and manager, this conversation is packed with actionable insights for scaling businesses.

We also explore how advanced AI tools could reshape the way we assess team performance while navigating ethical challenges. Whether you're a business leader or a motorsport enthusiast, this episode offers a fresh take on leadership and teamwork.

Key Highlights:

• Motorsports Meets Leadership: How vehicle dynamics concepts like tire grip and weight transfer inform team dynamics and leadership strategies.
• The 4C Model for Teams: Insights into team profiling and improving performance through shared vision, clear roles, consistency, and collaboration.
• Non-Linear Leadership Thinking: Why effective leaders must weigh trade-offs and make balanced decisions.
• Scaling Businesses with E-Myth Principles: Dr. Jomaa discusses balancing leadership roles and delegating effectively as businesses grow.
• AI in Team Performance: Exploring the potential – and ethical concerns – of using AI to track and optimise team dynamics.
