The Performance Paradox

Today’s guest on the Leader’s Agenda is Eduardo Briceño. Tarja and Eduardo sat down to talk key lessons from his book, The Performance Paradox. The performance paradox is the counterintuitive reality that if we focus only on performing, our performance suffers. To improve or innovate, we can’t spend all our time doing things as best as we know how, trying to minimize mistakes. We have to also engage in the mental state and strategies to go beyond what we know. When we do these together, we’re Learning While Doing.

 

Eduardo Briceño is a global keynote speaker, facilitator, and author who guides many of the world’s leading companies in developing cultures of learning and high performance. His TED and TEDx talks have been viewed more than nine million times. He is the author of The Performance Paradox, which was selected as a “Must-Read” by the Next Big Idea Club. He was shortlisted by Thinkers50 — which are the “Oscars of management thinking” — for the Breakthrough Idea Award, given to thinkers who “have ignited Eureka moments in management, offering radical ideas that have the potential to reshape the future of business as we know it.”

Meet The Host

Tarja Huuskonen is often described as a transformationalist, both in her personal life, as well as in the companies that she guides to a better future through the work of Action for Results. Her life’s work has been about transformation and healthcare: building innovation and product delivery capabilities and cultures that foster curiosity, collaboration and peak performance for best patient and business outcomes. She’s advised, trained and facilitated hundreds of executive teams and leaders in pharmaceutical and med-tech companies globally, on how to rethink their business models and processes, and make their visions come true by leading and empowering internal teams and external partnerships. Tarja has experienced first-hand what great medical product innovations can do in the hands of well-trained doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals. The platinum coils inside her brain are just one innovation that she walks around with, but the ICU was filled with them! Imagine how many teams it took to design and make all the medical devices, equipment and drugs that saved her life after a ruptured brain aneurysm.

 

The Leader’s Agenda show is the cumulation of Tarja’s life work to now share powerful conversations at scale. Listen along as she fosters exclusive conversations with today’s leaders, digging deep to understand what works, and what doesn’t.
