1056: Winning the Mental Game of Leadership with Sébastien Page

If you want to run a high-performing organization, a high-performing soccer team, a high-performing orchestra, a large proportion of the success of the team is going to be the quality of the relationships. And it's not about being nice and feeling good every time, but it's trust, it's mutual respect, it's how you give feedback to each other. Those things are absolutely necessary for strong leadership and strong team performance. So we go from this theoretical, positive, nice sounding, positive psychology stuff to really practicing

practical business practices in terms of how you give feedback, how you receive feedback, how you talk about culture, why culture matters, how people interact within a team, why trust is so important. That's Sebastian Page. He serves as the head of global multi-asset and chief investment officer at T Row Price and has been dubbed a top voice in finance by LinkedIn. His new book, The Psychology of Leadership, offers perspectives on leadership backed by positive psychology.
