You're disciplined. You're driven. You outwork almost everyone around you — and lately that engine is running on fumes and delivering less than it used to. Most high achievers respond to that signal by pushing harder. That's not a solution. According to neuroscience, it's the cause. Paul Crick spent decades at the top of global consulting — PwC, Capgemini, IBM — before discovering that the leadership model he'd been trained in was physiologically incompatible with sustained high performance. What he built instead — drawing from leadership psychology, neuroscience, and the principles of Aikido — dismantles the single most dangerous myth in business: that force creates greatness. If you're achieving everything on paper and running on empty in reality, this episode will change how you think about performance forever.
