The 2% Club – Not a Typo!
Welcome to our Christmas special of Tea Break Coach — complete with jumpers, decorations, and a glass of mulled wine
In this short episode, we explore the 2% Club: the small group of leaders who naturally combine high trust with strong challenge to elevate people and performance. Drawing on real-world leadership experience and fascinating insights from psychology and evolution, this video offers a fresh perspective on what truly makes great leadership work.
Whether you’re leading a team or developing yourself, this festive reflection may just shift how you think about trust, feedback, and growth.
