Great & Poor Leaders• Think about a great leader. Where do they sit on

the scale and why did you rate them that way?

• Think about a very poor leader. Where do they sit on the scale and why?

• Think about your last boss. Where do they sit on the scale? Why?

• Where do you sit in terms of strength and warmth?

““

up routineWarmVisualise what winning feels like and use those poses

In the moment you don't want to be thinking about the little things like where hands are etc (go practice in the change room)

Doing this leaves cognitive space for what you need to be concentrating on

Brings authenticity when you don't need to concentrate on these things

Practice practice practice
