Shownotes

Are you leading talented people who work hard but don’t really move together?

In this episode, Phil breaks down a simple but powerful distinction that reshapes how CEOs think about leadership, growth, and team performance.

  1. Learn how to diagnose whether your company is operating like a golf team or a basketball team
  2. Understand why individual excellence can quietly stall company-wide growth
  3. Discover practical leadership moves that shift teams from effort-driven to intent-driven performance

If you want to lead a team that creates real momentum (not just activity) this episode will give you a clearer way to see, think and act as a CEO.

ALSO, take a listen to Ryan Hawk's Learning Leader Show. It's a brilliant leadership resource.
