Thank you for all of your support. Please let us know what you think about our podcast and what topic you may want to hear from us. Leaders, Lead Well!

Most organizations still confuse performance with potential.
They take a standout performer, move them up… and then wonder why that person struggles in the role they’ve been thrown into.

The reality? There’s a huge difference between being a high performer and being a high-potential leader.

One gets results.
 The other shapes the future.
 One executes today.
 The other transforms tomorrow.

If you want to become a world-class executive—a leader who builds culture, empowers people, and drives bold, sustainable outcomes—you can’t rely on performance alone. You have to develop the competencies, courage, and character that define true high-potential leadership.

Because at the end of the day, you can’t outperform a lack of leadership maturity.

In this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT, Rich and Maikel break down the real difference between high performers and high potentials—and why only one of them consistently makes it to the executive level.
