Many executives are evaluated solely on their own performance metrics, creating a ceiling for their team's potential. This video explores a different approach to team management inspired by the Navy SEALs. We break down the philosophy of evaluating leaders based on the competence of the people they train, rather than just their individual output.
If you want to move beyond traditional executive coaching and foster a culture of high performance, this concept is essential. By prioritizing the skill level of your direct reports, you create a more resilient and capable organization. Learn to apply these principles to your daily operations and see how focusing on employee performance can change your management style.
Career strategist, learning designer, and founder of "Work, Rewritten", Sam Alvita joins Roger Kastner to explore what replaces that old map: a portfolio career built from personal brands, side projects, and collaborations, not a single job title. Their conversation reaches into career identity, leadership development, and personal development, and what it actually takes to unlearn the stories that keep high achievers stuck.
