High Performance Leadership is NOT a fixed trait or a skill. It is a dynamic pattern of neural activity.
But without deliberate strategies, high performance leaders often default to reactive inefficient behaviors.
High Performance Leaders often face unique challenges, due to the very qualities that make them successful. These include:
- Over-reliance on performance mindset
- They’re used to achieving results and may see coaching as a problem-solving tool rather than a reflective inner process.
- Personal guidance like coaching or supervision that emphasizes inner work, vulnerability, or slowing down can feel counterintuitive.
- Time scarcity
- Their schedules are packed, making regular sessions feel like a lower priority.
- They may resist taking time to reflect rather than act.
- High self-expectations and perfectionism
- May struggle to acknowledge limitations or areas for development.
- They might feel uncomfortable being in the “learner” role again.
- Difficulty in letting go of control
- High performers often trust their own judgment and may resist being guided or challenged.
- They may unconsciously dominate the space rather than exploring openly.
- Blind spots in emotional and relational intelligence
- Their focus on outcomes can sometimes overshadow people dynamics, empathy, trust, or self-awareness.
- They might benefit from individual sessions on how they impact others, but this can be hard to accept.
- Identity tied to success
- Guidance that questions their current strategies can feel like a threat to their identity or status.
- They may equate slowing down or being vulnerable with weakness.
