What does values-based leadership really look like in practice, and why does it matter for high performance?In this episode, we explore how the best leaders go beyond results and focus on the behaviours and values that drive sustainable success. Because high performance isn't just about hitting targets, it's about how those results are achieved and the impact leaders have on their teams.We break down how values shape culture, influence decision-making, and set the standard for performance across an organisation. Plus, we discuss the risks of prioritising outcomes over behaviour, and why that approach can quietly damage teams over time.-----Follow The People Performance Podcast for leadership, culture, and high-performance insights:Instagram: @peopleperformancepodcastTikTok: @peopleperformancepod

Miles Davis would have turned one hundred this year. The centennial has brought the somewhat predictable wave of reissues, retrospectives, and tributes. But which Miles keeps coming back? The suit-and-narrow-lapels Miles of the fifties. Kind of Blue as sonic wallpaper. The Second Great Quintet as the canonical high point.In this episode, Howard Mandel - JJA president emeritus and author of Miles Ornette Cecil: Jazz Beyond Jazz - sits down with three guests who've spent serious time inside the music: bassist and author Melvin Gibbs, pianist and scholar Bob Gluck, and journalist Martin Johnson. They push past the myth and talk about what the centennial framing gets right, what it flattens, and why Miles keeps mattering even when the cultural idea of 'cool' has largely moved on without him.Learn More About: Miles Davis Howard MandelMelvin GibbsBob GluckMartin JohnsonSupport for The JJA comes in part from the Jazz Foundation of America, providing emergency assistance, healthcare, and performance opportunities to performers, composers and others in need.

Most leaders know they should delegate. So why do so many still struggle to let go?In this episode, Martin Johnson explores the real reasons leaders struggle to delegate,  and why it's often not a team issue, but a leadership one.From control and perfectionism to “mean-wellers" we break down the three behaviours that keep leaders stuck in the detail and stop teams from taking ownership.We also introduce the three levels of delegation: Execute, Enable, and Empower, and why a lack of clarity is where delegation often breaks down.Because delegation isn't just about letting go. It's about creating clarity, ownership, and accountability in your team.If you've ever felt stuck in the detail or found yourself stepping back into work you've already handed over, this conversation will give you a different perspective.If you want to learn more about the Delegation Dilemma.

Most of us go to bed expecting a “perfect” night's sleep.But what if that expectation is the problem?In this episode with Stephanie Romiszewski , we challenge some of the most common beliefs about sleep, from the idea of 8 hours being the gold standard, to what it really means to be a “good sleeper.”We explore why waking up in the night is completely normal, how chasing perfect sleep can actually make things worse, and why our relationship with sleep matters more than we think.Because better performance doesn't just come from doing more.It starts with how well you recover.If you've ever struggled with sleep, overthought your nights, or felt frustrated trying to “get it right,” this conversation will shift your perspective.

Is leadership really better than management, or have we got it wrong?In this episode, Martin Johnson breaks down one of the biggest myths in leadership today, the idea that leaders inspire while managers control.He explores why leadership and management are not opposites, but two essential skill sets that must work together to drive performance, accountability, and results.From creating followership to executing with precision, this conversation unpacks when to lead, when to manage, and why great leaders must be able to do both.If you've ever struggled to balance vision with execution, this episode is for you.-----Blog Post: Are You Leading or Just Managing?

Why do some people take ownership of outcomes while others blame circumstances, luck, or other people?In this episode, Bernice Casserly and Rich McCarthy explore the concept of Locus of Control, the belief system that shapes how we interpret success, failure, and responsibility.They discuss how this mindset influences leadership behaviour, team culture, and performance, and how leaders can develop a stronger sense of ownership and accountability.If you've ever wondered why some teams take responsibility and move forward while others stay stuck in excuses, this conversation is for you.

Most leaders believe they're trustworthy.But what if trust isn't built the way you think?In this episode, Martin Johnson unpacks the hidden mechanics behind trust and introduces a powerful framework: The Trust Equation.We assume trust is about intention or likability. In reality, people are subconsciously scoring us on three things: credibility, reliability, and rapport.From competence under pressure to consistency of behaviour and the role of vulnerability, this conversation reveals what truly strengthens trust inside teams.Because trust isn't built by what you mean.It's built by what people experience.-----Follow The People Performance Podcast for leadership, culture, and high-performance insights:Instagram: @peopleperformancepodcastTikTok: @peopleperformancepod

Most of us believe we're doing the right thing.But what if everyone else thinks the same?In this episode, Alex Mather and Spencer Locker explore a powerful leadership blind spot: we judge ourselves by our intentions, yet we judge others by their actions. That gap quietly drives conflict, erodes trust, and undermines psychological safety inside teams.From emotional intelligence to behavioural triggers and psychometrics, this conversation unpacks how everyday leadership behaviours shape culture far more than leaders realise.Because leadership isn't judged by what you meant.It's judged by how your behaviour is experienced.Discover more about psychometric tools here: https://trans2performance.com/psychometric-toolshttps://trans2performance.com/leading-yourself-----Follow The People Performance Podcast for leadership, culture, and high-performance insights:Instagram: @peopleperformancepodcastTikTok: @peopleperformancepod

Most organisations talk about peak performance. But what if that's the wrong target entirely?In this Leader Lounge episode of the People Performance Podcast, Martin Johnson breaks down the difference between peak, high, and optimal performance, and why chasing peak can quietly damage leaders and teams. Instead, Martin explores the concept of optimal performance: doing the best you can with the time, resources, and realities in front of you.From navigating flow and drudgery to balancing supportive and assertive leadership, this episode offers a practical and refreshingly honest view of what sustainable performance actually looks like in the real world.Because long-term success isn't built on perfect conditions, it's built on how you lead when conditions aren't perfect. -----Follow The People Performance Podcast for leadership, culture, and high-performance insights:Instagram: @peopleperformancepodcastTikTok: @peopleperformancepod

Vad är det som gör att jag berättat om våld, brott, straff och ond bråd död i hela mitt yrkesliv? En del av svaret finns i min senaste bok.

What does real leadership look like when everything is on the line?In this episode of the People Performance Podcast, T2 founder Martin Johnson sits down with Neil Hudgell, founding partner of Hudgell Solicitors and Chairman of Hull KR, to explore leadership, culture, belief, and resilience at the highest level. Neil shares his journey from a working-class upbringing in Hull to representing families affected by some of the UK's most significant tragedies, including the Post Office Horizon scandal, Manchester Arena bombing, and Grenfell Tower disaster. He explains why relationships, integrity, and trust sit at the heart of effective leadership, whether in law, business, or elite sport. The conversation also dives deep into high-performance culture in professional sport, unpacking how Hull KR rebuilt belief, accountability, and identity on their journey to becoming treble winners. Neil reveals why winning starts with ethics and honesty, how leaders must sometimes step back to let others lead, and what it really takes to build a legacy rather than a one-season success.-----Follow The People Performance Podcast for leadership, culture, and high-performance insights:Instagram: @peopleperformancepodcastTikTok: @peopleperformancepod

Det är 40 år sedan Olof Palme mördades. Spår påbörjar en satsning kring världens kanske största mordutredning. Med hjälp av en unik AI-modell, framtagen och tränad på specifikt polisutredningen, är målet att få riksåklagaren att öppna utredningen igen.

In this episode of the People Performance Podcast, Martin Johnson, is joined by former Navy SEAL commander and author Rich Diviney. The discussion centres on human performance, focusing primarily on Rich's second book, Masters of Uncertainty, and related concepts.The main topics covered include:Uncertainty, Anxiety, and Fear: Martin and Rich discuss how humans deal with uncertain situations and pressure. Fear is hypothesised to be the combination of external uncertainty and internal anxiety. Anxiety is described as "fiction" because it is always focused on the future. They explore the neurological and evolutionary reasons for the fear response (the "lizard" or "chimp" brain taking over) and the goal of mastering oneself to "degrade fear" and perform effectively.Moving Horizons (Duration, Pathway, Outcome): This technique is presented as a way to "buy down uncertainty". It involves taking a large, overwhelming situation and chunking it down into an immediate goal, creating a new, controllable Duration, Pathway, and Outcome (DPO). This process helps prevent feeling overwhelmed by the entire situation and gives the brain a reward (dopamine hit) for reaching the shortened horizon.Optimal Performance: Martin and Rich argue against the societal pressure (often driven by social media) to be at "peak" performance all the time. Optimal performance is instead defined as doing the best you can with the time and resources available, which includes moments of high flow, "gutting it out," and even recovery.Trust and The Attributes: The conversation briefly touches on Rich Diviney's first book, The Attributes, which profiles 41 human attributes. They discuss trust as being built on four factors: Competence, Consistency, Character, and Compassion. They also emphasise a leader's responsibility to model the desired behaviours first and reward them.Social LinksInstagram - ttps://www.instagram.com/peopleperformancepodcast/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/t2-thepeopleperformancepeopleTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@peopleperformancepod

In amongst this, we ponder if a real life tiger did meet Martin Johnson in the 90's!

In this Leader Lounge episode Martin Johnson, focuses on the concept of worldview. Worldview is defined as having two parts: your current mental model of how the world is structured and works, and how much you agree with that framework. It informs everything you do, including your thoughts, behaviours, and decisions.Martin encourages listeners to explore their worldview by answering five key, deep-seated questions:How do I believe the world was created? (Religious/Pantheism vs. Scientific/Humanism) How do I believe the world operates? (Political, societal, and environmental position; e.g., Capitalism vs. Socialism) Do I agree with or accept the way the world operates? What are my motivations and values? (Moral position) What happens to us when we die? (Often informed by the first question) The episode also discusses several paired elements of a worldview:Humanism (World is natural, based on science/reason) vs. Pantheism (World created by God/supreme entity).Optimism (Hope is key, anything is possible) vs. Pessimism (World is corrupt, skepticism, mistrust).Moralism (Belief the world should be fair and just with shared morals) vs. Moral Subjectivism (Morals and values are subjective due to different cultures/circumstances).Individualism (Self-reliant, control your own destiny) vs. Collectivism (Things should be done together for the greater good of all).Stoicism (Must be strong and endure pain/challenge) vs. Entitlement (Deserve pleasure, comfort, reward, and happiness).The discussion concludes by explaining that your worldview determines your locus of control. An internal locus of control means you believe you control your life and attribute success/failure to your efforts. An external locus of control means you believe life is governed by environment/circumstance and attribute success/failure to external factors like luck. Martin stresses that a healthy internal locus of control is essential for overcoming life's complexities.If listeners want to find out what world view they have pease visit - trans2performance.com/worldview.Social LinksInstagram - ttps://www.instagram.com/peopleperformancepodcast/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/t2-thepeopleperformancepeopleTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@peopleperformancepod
