17: Win Every Time - In Business or Combat. Leighton Cubbage and Tim Flanagan: Apr 24, 2017

Show notes

Whether in business or combat, the most effective leaders focus first on the commitment to the mission. They never have the plan up front, which is highly counter-intuitive. They focus first on commitment. Unless you're completely committed, you cannot solve for anything. In this discussion with CEOs Tim Flanigan and Leighton Cubbage, Thom Shea takes a deep dive into what it takes to win.

The value of flexibility in planning. Everything changes the moment you execute. The most well thought out, well rehearsed plan only survives the first shots fired, the first change in market conditions.

Everything is about the basics. There is no such thing as advanced, only mastery of the basics. True mastery exists in keeping your word. There are myriad reasons why you don't keep your word. There will always be reasons why people quit. We drive our own limitations. Nothing else. Nobody else.

16: Michigan Football performance director Fergus Connolly: Author of Game Changer, On Dominating the Competition, and Thriving in Chaos Apr 17, 2017

Show notes

Nobody achieves excellence on their own. The building blocks of elite performance in business, athletic and military teams include a high level of tolerance for brutal honesty and an unbreakable trust.

How elite performers handle chaos and conflict that gives them an edge over their competition. Every. Single. Time.

Dr. Fergus Connolly, Director of Performance at Michigan Football, uses his experience and background to develop teams and athletes to reach their full potential.

The lost value of hard work in contemporary culture creates extreme opportunity for anyone willing to work harder than their peers. It truly levels the playing field. Nothing can stop someone who is willing to outwork their competition. Not education, not genetics, not money.

There is no magic to elite performance. So what is it that differentiates those few at the top from the rest of the crowd? It's simpler than you think.

How passion, full commitment, emotional investment and an ability to control your emotions lead to breakthrough performance.

Forcing breakdowns in practice situations in any team endeavor provides an unstoppable edge over the competition and dramatically expands your capacity to perform when it matters most.
