The Relentless FewChoose Your Boulders WiselyIn this episode of the Potential Leader Lab podcast, Perry Maughmer discusses the importance of choosing one's boulders wisely. The acceleration of achieving our goals depends on the force applied and the mass of the goal itself. We should focus on a few significant boulders rather than spreading our efforts across multiple ones. Reflect on what truly matters to you and ask yourself what you want most versus what you want now. We have the power we have to choose our boulders and to direct our energy towards meaningful pursuits. Perry...2023-07-2423 min
The Relentless FewWhy Success SucksIf we want things to change, we need to make different decisions and choices - which invariably require discomfort and risk. But as we become more successful, our propensity to take the risks required to evolve as both people and leaders becomes harder.Without a granular understanding of how you want your life to be different, it’s difficult to do the heavy lifting required to make evolution a reality.

The Relentless FewCondemned to Be Free: Exploring Sartre's Existentialist Philosophy (S1.22)According to French existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre, despite not creating ourselves and being put here without consent, we do have the ability, I believe it is a responsibility, to make choices and act freely in every situation. Looking around at our society today, I think sometimes we’ve lost that mindset and instead believe things happen to us (and not for us). To me the fact that we can always choose to act our way into being offers limitless freedom and opportunities.Perry Maughmer believes the world deserves better leadership; that in every human interaction there is...2023-06-1916 minThe Relentless FewWinning the Battle Within: Mastering Self-Leadership for Personal Growth (S1.21)As humans, the number one thing that drives our behavior is acting in a way that is going to relieve discomfort. But if we want our future to be different, we need to start acting differently in the present, which can be a deeply uncomfortable proposition. Growth is uncomfortable.I believe the most important battle we fight in moving towards our goals and aspirations is the one within ourselves as we let go of our previous identity to form a new one.Perry Maughmer believes the world deserves better leadership; that in every human interaction...2023-06-1227 min

And yet we’ve become enamored by leadership; the vision, the strategy, and the charisma. In the process, we’ve created an ecosystem that supports just one level of an organization to think creatively, come up with unique or interesting ideas, or build the vision of the organization, leaving it to others to implement those ideas. 80% of the important things that happen in a business are management-oriented, which leads me to believe nobody’s job should be to purely lead an organization. In this episode, I’m exploring what happens when we...2023-06-0520 min
The Relentless FewEvolving On PurposeMost of the time, we aspire to chase big, hairy, audacious goals. We want to move far beyond what we’ve done in the past. And yet we don’t allow our future selves to define what those goals are - we think about where we’ve been and set about going in the opposite direction.Evolving on purpose suggests two things; doing something with intention and moving towards a specific end state. To evolve is to be different. Not better, not worse, just different.Perry Maughmer believes the world deserves better leadership; that in every...2023-05-2922 min
The Relentless FewUsing your vision, mission, and values to create leadership guidelines.“Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare” - Japanese proverb.The #1 responsibility of a leader is to teach people how to think (not what to think), and the easiest way to do that is to create a set of guidelines or guardrails with the vision, mission, and values of the organization on one side and the financials on the other.Your leadership philosophy should flow from your vision, mission, and values, be representative of how those things show up in every aspect of your business, and be the guide for how people lead...2023-05-2220 min
The Relentless FewThe Chasm Between Knowing And DoingWithin your organization, there is a great chasm between what you know and what you accomplish. You create lists of initiatives and tasks so long that they become overwhelming and somehow distract us from the actions that have actual importance.In this episode, I’m exploring the mechanisms that stop us from doing despite knowing. The cognitive biases around our underestimation of time, cost, and risk, and the need to focus on creating processes and systems to ensure you and your team meet your desired outcomes.Perry Maughmer believes the world deserves better leadership; that in...2023-05-1534 min
The Relentless FewLiving In A Cage of Your Own CreationSo often we create boxes or cages for ourselves that stop us from being open to new ideas or ways of being simply because we’ve constructed a story that says it must be a certain way.In this episode of the Potential Leader Lab, I’m exploring how we create self-imposed boundaries and what happens when we get out of our own heads and have the humility to listen to the universe when it’s presenting us with opportunities to work beyond our current beliefs.

The Relentless FewCreating A Life You Don't Want to Retire FromPrior to the late 1800’s the concept of retirement didn’t exist. And it wasn’t until the mid-1900’s that older people were financially compensated for leaving employment - at an age where they had usually outlived the average life expectancy of the time. This antiquated concept of retirement no longer makes fiscal or social sense. In this episode I’m taking a look at the historical and financial impact of retirement and exploring how leaders can intentionally and explicitly create a life they don’t want (or need) to retire from by taking small steps towards the th...2023-05-0134 minThe Relentless FewGoals Demotivate Your TeamAs humans, we seek purpose and meaning from our work. In his book ‘Drive’, Daniel Pink states that workers are motivated by autonomy, mastery, and purpose in their work. And, that money is only a motivator if people have autonomy over the entire work process. In any other situation, money is a performance demotivator.So why, as leaders, do so many of us insist our teams work to arbitrary revenue targets?In this episode, we’re exploring the shift that happens when leaders create a culture and use language that drives behaviors that are focused on the...2023-04-2422 min
The Relentless FewStop Having Meetings That SuckThe average manager spends two full days per week consumed in meetings. And if that wasn’t bad enough, 71% of senior managers felt like meetings were unproductive and inefficient. Meetings that suck aren’t just a waste of time…they also cost companies billions of dollars in lost productivity.In this episode, we’re exploring how you can redefine meetings in your organization. From getting clear on who can call meetings, training to effectively run and manage group discussions, and how to ensure people add value when they gather together, rather than waste time and energy.2023-04-1719 min
The Relentless FewDon’t Lead Like Ricky BobbyAs leaders, we need to move quickly, but we can’t be fast all the time. And yet our default setting is to move fast, to categorize everything as important and urgent, requiring speed and efficiency. Leadership actually requires a focus on people, which requires proactivity, decision-making, exploring new opportunities, and reflecting on experiences. These actions demand time and effectiveness, not speed and efficiency. Perry Maughmer believes the world deserves better leadership; that in every human interaction there is the opportunity to either build others up or tear them down; and that leadership is the cho...2023-04-1018 min
The Relentless FewLeaders Embracing The Idea To EvolveTo evolve means to unroll or change, with a speed limit. If we always see things through the same frames, then we’re always processing the information in the same way. Because our brain wants to do things as efficiently and quickly as possible, we need to be looking for different ways to challenge ourselves, our thoughts, and our way of being.In this episode, I explore the ideas of, among other things, a growth mindset, locus of control, the power of our beliefs, and manifestation. All ways we can challenge ourselves to think and be different in...2023-04-0335 min
The Relentless FewThoughts On Writing And ThinkingThe traditional mindset around leadership is that good leaders know how to act. Whilst that’s true to a point - leaders do need to take action - I believe more importantly, leaders need to think in order to create strategies or things of value that don’t exist but will improve the value of their organization. Leadership means doing the cognitive heavy lifting, understanding what action needs to be taken, and being in charge of directing others. This requires higher order thinking, including the ability to analyze, evaluate, and create. With that comes the responsibility to asses...2023-03-2713 min
The Relentless FewDeveloping Leaders Is A Wicked ProblemIn the US alone, $31b is spent annually on leadership training and development.

The Relentless FewFreedom Demands Complete AccountabilityFreedom is fundamentally who we are as Americans. But despite speaking of freedom a lot, we rarely explore or want to accept the other side of that equation; accountability and responsibility. Jean-Paul Sartre says, “Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.” Existentialists believe we act ourselves into being and are free to change who we are and become the thing we want to become. In this episode, I’m exploring the concept of freedom in leadership and the mindset shift that is required to help others develop the ability to see how thei...2023-03-1313 min

The Relentless FewThe Danger of Goal SettingThe overarching theme of today’s episode of the Potential Leader Lab is how we mistakenly weaponize goals due to our fundamental misunderstanding of the realities they create and the behaviors they generate. In a world obsessed with setting and reaching arbitrary goals, it’s a controversial stance. We explore the emotional price you pay for setting big, audacious goals and how, in an increasingly unpredictable world, focusing on processes can help you reach real success much more effectively than setting goals that actually work against our own self-interest..
