This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Based in Salt Lake City, RSG Performance helps leaders and teams excel under pressure. Using behavioral science, mindfulness and performance strategies, they improve decision making, collaboration and overall effectiveness guiding organizations to thrive. Here to share insights is Co-founder Brad Manuel.
Brad Manuel:
Most of us assume leadership is about having all the answers. But lately, we’ve been noticing something different. The leaders who are truly effective aren’t rushing to fix everything — they’re slowing down and paying attention to what’s actually happening first.
Noticing when a team feels tense instead of engaged. Noticing when reactions come from habit rather than intention. Noticing when “busy” quietly replaces “effective.”
Here’s a simple experiment for anyone listening today: before your next meeting, pause for ten seconds and ask yourself one question — what’s the temperature in the room right now? Not the agenda. Not the outcome. The human temperature.
Because awareness changes behavior faster than motivation ever will. The best leaders don’t always have to move first. Sometimes, the most powerful move is simply to slow down, pay attention, and see clearly.
That moment of clarity can transform how the team thinks, feels, and performs.
