What We’re Getting Wrong About High Performance

A lot of what gets labelled as high performance in organisations today is not actually sustainable performance.

It’s people coping really well under pressure.

In this solo episode, I reflect on what I’m noticing across delivery, transformation, and leadership — and why we may be rewarding the wrong signals.

Because being constantly available, always stepping in, and somehow keeping everything moving might look impressive…

…but it can also hide strain, dependency, and systems that are relying too heavily on people.

In this episode, I explore:

  • why performance is often misunderstood
  • how “coping” gets mistaken for strength
  • what real high performance actually looks like
  • why sustainable performance matters more than ever

If we want stronger organisations, better delivery, and healthier teams — we need a better definition of performance.
