BREAK THE CEO CODE

How to decode energy for the future of leadership performance.

It can be very lonely at the top. Leaders are constantly under pressure to deliver outcomes such as more perfection, profit, products and prestige. We fall into the trap of working harder and thinking that more is better, when in most cases less is more. Craig Johns learnt first hand the negative consequences of setting a culture of more, rather than facilitating a high performance environment.

Burnout is a choice. It’s now time for employers to stop placing the responsibility on the employee and employees need to stop blaming the employer.
