episode 90 - the word is speed

What does “speed” really mean for leaders? In this 90th episode, I look into the many faces of speed. I explore why it is more than just moving fast, and how it shapes the way we lead teams and drive results.

Through personal stories (including my stint in the French Airforce!) and sharp business insights I gained from my clients, I explore the five key lessons of speed:

• Speed is relative: Doubling your pace doesn’t matter if you’re still half the competition’s.

• Speed is collective: True leadership means matching your team’s pace, not just racing ahead.

• Speed is addictive: Quick wins feel great but beware of valuing motion over meaning.

• Speed is external: It’s hard to judge your own speed. Are you moving fast enough, or too fast?

• Speed can kill: Sometimes, going too fast leads to mistakes or burnout.

Packed with practical lessons, this episode challenges you to rethink how you balance urgency with impact. Ready to lead at the right pace? Tune in and join the conversation!
