I'm so excited to give you something a little extra for your week! This is the first of our 'Beyond The Summit' short bonus series where we discuss High Performance topics in the lead up to our High Performers Leadership Summit. Speaking of, you can find out more details about that here: https://www.trialtitudeperformance.com.au/registration1660014924140
Wayne Reuben is not your typical C-Suite business leader.
He has an enviable track record of excellent business performance spanning multiple industries and geographies. More importantly, he has consistently proven that people-focused leadership is at the heart of sustained high performance in the highly competitive world of large multinational companies.
In this episode we explore Wayne’s relationship with “high performance”. We hear how High Performance developed as a personal pursuit and eventually became a life defining (and fulfilling!) obsession.
Wayne shares the specific events that led to a much deeper insight to the way elite athletes build not just the capability to perform at crucial moments, but more importantly how they develop a mindset that drives their commitment to see every training and practice session as an opportunity to strive for those extra “one percenters”. He shares how he came to realise that this extraordinary dedication to personal improvement can only come with a deep and personal connection to a specific long term goal, and how he leveraged that to engineer extraordinary engagement to “purpose” among the geographically diverse teams he led.
Listen to the end to hear Wayne speak passionately about the pursuit of deep engagement across his teams, and how he learned to fine tune the “process” of building and sustaining widespread engagement.
Key Moments:
•How high performance has been a lifetime character defining pursuit for Wayne (which still burns strongly)
•The specific turning point in Wayne’s corporate career where he consciously chose to instil a culture of High Performance across his entire commercial team via the foundation of “engagement”.
•How a chance interaction with an exceptional leader of high performance in elite sport (Clark Perry) became Wayne’s guide and mentor.
•How Wayne was able to craft a culture where widespread, genuine engagement in a defined “purpose”, became the foundation for the potent combination of great workplace experience and industry defining business results.
•The realisation that his innate and enduring Curiosity was actually at the heart of so many behaviours which characterised successful leadership
