I love this point: What we achieve in the world is directly impacted by how we see the world. Without a mountain to climb, we are destined to stay where we are. This may be at the base of others’ mountains, while they move past us. For some leaders, today’s decision to play it safe will be tomorrow’s regret of not playing a bigger game.
Athletes who self-protect their egos by talking down their prospects, or who define the Olympics as not a stage to excel on but with a "I'm just lucky to be here" vibe never win the gold or even get to the podium. You get what you believe in.
“You get what you believe in.” That’s a valuable insight, Kirsten. Australia’s athletes, broadly, believe that they can be the best in the world. In the business world, I wonder if the belief just isn’t there as it is too far removed from their lived experience.
