## Resource

Most leaders in 2026 are performing at 60 to 70 per cent of their actual capacity. The question is why? And more importantly, what to do about it? In this episode I am talking about the one variable that separates leaders who sustain elite performance from those who gradually erode. Not a strategy. Not talent. Capacity. I cover why the leadership environment has fundamentally shifted, what is actually driving the performance gap most executives are sitting in right now, and why the vast majority of support available to leaders fails to address the real problem. I also introduce the Built For Pressure Capacity Index. A diagnostic framework built around seven systems that together determine a leader's ability to perform under sustained pressure. I am not going into the full detail here. That happens next Thursday at the Corporate Athlete Workshop with Deep Sky. But I want you to understand what it measures and why it matters before we get in the room.
