Leadership & Legacy of Bad Bosses with Tony Wilson


Listen Later

This is an eye-opening episode about leadership, staying motivated and bad bosses. According to latest research 70% of bosses are UNAPPROACHABLE. Woah!  

Are you one of those bosses? That’s what we’re going to discuss today. 

Our special guest, Tony Wilson who is the founder of Performance Lab is going to share his unique thoughts on how you can be a better leader and high performer in the workplace. Tony has spent more than 10 years working with elite athletes and sporting teams around Australia and the US. He takes what he learns from working with these high performance athletes and helps high performing business leaders crush it in their business. 

Today he shares his 4 Rules of Performance: 

  1. All that matters is WHAT YOU DO  
    Doesn’t matter what others do 
    Doesn’t matter how you feel 
    Doesn’t matter what you think & plan 
    All that matters is what you execute 
     
  2. Broad focus/Narrow focus 
    Sometimes we can’t go to that next level unless we step back and take that broader look at thing. 
     
  3. Being in the moment 
    All our anxiety and frustration and stress comes from worrying about the past or being anxious about the future. 
    When we can focus on the next positive thing we can do, that’s when we have our best performance because it’s not clouded by all this external focus. 
     
  4. Mindset of FACTS over JUDGEMENT  
    When we’re facing adversity, we can get really hung up on emotional stories.
    When we focus on facts and truthful thinking, our emotional brain doesn’t have as much of a hold on us. 

Tony also shares his thoughts on MOTIVATION and the myths surrounding this. One myth is that high performance people, whether athletes or business leaders are motivated ALL THE TIME .. this is JUST NOT TRUE. The following is true for most everyone: 

  • 1/3 of the time you’ll be super motivated 
  • 1/3 of the time you’ll feel the opposite 
  • 1/3 of the time you’ll feel “meh” with a take it or leave it attitude 


If we take the approach of “despite how I think and feel, I can still execute those things every single day” … it doesn’t matter if motivation goes up and down. This is normal. 

Tony shares plenty more nuggets of wisdom on this topic, so make sure you take the time to listen and learn how you can implement the strategies and behaviour into your own business.
