192. From Olympic Glory to Ethics in Leadership with Mick Spiers

What can Olympian Michael Johnson's emotional experience teach us about leadership? 

This episode of the Leadership Project takes a profound look at how returning one of his five gold medals shaped his outlook on perseverance, adaptability, and team motivation. Join us as we break down our conversation with Clint Padgett, who underscores that successful businesses and projects are fundamentally about people. You'll gain insights into how to inspire your team, maintain order through effective project management, and appreciate the human touch in planning and estimating tasks. We also delve into Parkinson's law and the Yerkes-Dodson curve to reveal how slight pressure can elevate team performance to new heights.

In the latter part of the episode, we welcome Dr. Benjamin Ritter back to the show for a deep dive into achieving career fulfillment and overcoming professional fears. Learn practical strategies that will help you navigate through career challenges and discover true satisfaction in your work life.
