Neil Craig is the first guest we've brought back into the arena — and for good reason. He's 70, coaching leaders at the Australian Institute of Sport, and still the most curious person in any room he walks into.
Former AFL senior coach at Adelaide, performance coach with England Rugby and the Wallabies, and a wonderful mentor of mine.
We go deep on expectations — the most dangerous word in high performance — and what happens when your behaviour drifts under pressure.
Neil tells the story of a CEO brave enough to say, "You're not the coach we appointed." We talk about coaching effort, the critical friend every leader needs, and why the best coaches never stop being coached themselves. A game never won.
Notebook ready.
Play on.
