Champions Do Extra: 6 Leadership Habits That Separate Top Performers

Most leaders do enough to get by. A select few do extra. And that gap is almost the entire difference between a career that stagnates and one that accelerates.

If you want to reach the pinnacle of your personal potential, it starts with your decision to do more than the next person. In this episode, I give you 6 ways to focus your extra effort so that it pays you back in multiples.

A friend of mine passed a book onto me a couple of weeks ago. It’s the autobiography of a rugby player by the name of Brad Thorn, and it’s a cracking read, titled Champions do Extra.

Not a little extra. Not extra when it’s convenient. Extra when it’s hard. Extra when no one’s watching. Extra when the result is uncertain, and the work has to be done now.

During his impressive career, Thorn represented two different countries in two different rugby codes. He was still competing at the highest level at the ripe old age of 41, before going on to become a head coach.

I know that most of you aren’t rugby players, so how does this principle translate to the world of leadership?

Well, in this episode, I’m going to explain why discomfort is a door to unlock, rather than a barrier to prevent you from progressing.
