And one of the most underestimated forces in leadership is this: What you believe about people determines who they become in your organisation. Every leader holds a silent

Multitasking is one of the most celebrated inefficiencies of modern life. We wear it like a badge of honour. “I’m great at multitasking.”“I thrive under pressure.”“I can juggle ten things at once.” But here’s the truth most high performers eventually learn: Multitasking is not a strength.
