EVOLUTIONARY LEADERS are revolutionary by nature. They like to create paradigm shifts, challenge the status quo, and leave a legacy. These type of leaders as self- aware, emotionally intelligent, people orientated, top-end performers. They lead by example and are role models for those who lead. They are addicted to the process of getting better. They lead from a higher purpose and vision, fuelled by making a difference and developing better people, leader- ship, and results for all concerned.
On my way back to Nassau this week after 10 weeks in Europe I watched a 2-part documentary on the life of Muhammad Ali called What’s my Name Muhammad Ali produced by HBO. An incredible look into the life of one of the greatest leaders in the 20th and 21st century.
Emotional control is important. Athletes are a great example. If you look at some of the best athletes in the world, they are very good at controlling their emotions.
Learning how to control our emotions will give us the best performance. If we don’t, we’re out of control, which will not lead to great performance. Learning to master our emotions and channel them correctly will give us the freedom to be present. This is the place where all good things are created from.
In elite sport, pressure is part of daily life. We can learn a lot from elite athletes on how to perform and deal with the present demands when needed. Pressure is a mindset.

Great Leaders are inspirational leaders. They find a way to inspire others and infuse a sense of meaning and purpose into the role that they are playing. To help them feel part of something greater than themselves.
I had the privilege and fortune to witness possibly the greatest Wimbledon Final in history on Sunday.

Recent climate change protests in the UK by the activist group Extinction Rebellion have caused the UK government to take action. MP’s approved a motion to declare an environment and climate emergency, the first government in the world to do so.
