ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Give me 110%. No excuses. Sleep is for the weak. If you've ever been on a sports team, worked for a bad boss, or scrolled LinkedIn before 7am, you've heard some version of it, and I'm guessing you've said it. I've said it to myself, to my team, probably to a houseplant once. Here's the problem: 110% isn't a number. It's a fantasy, and it's been sold to us for 40 years by people who were quietly calculating our replacement cost in the back office.
In This Episode, You'll Learn
- The actual math on 110%, and why peak performance lives in a band that sits well under your maximum sustained output
- What Olympic coaches want from their athletes on a Tuesday, and why it isn't everything they've got
- Why the 110% story is what amateurs tell themselves about pros, while the pros quietly protect their capacity
- The one metric that predicts a leader's results over any timeline longer than a quarter, and it comes down to whether their people want to show up on Monday
- Why "I just need to get through this quarter" may be the most expensive sentence in corporate America
- What "you'll rest when this is over" is really deferring, and who ends up paying when the bill arrives
- Your capacity move for the week: end one day at 80% on purpose, then notice the twitchy urge that shows up
