A proposito di questo titolo

 In this episode of Lead to Grow, Tommy Sim explores one of the most overlooked ideas in leadership development: your floor. Most leaders focus on their ceiling. How inspiring, strategic, or high-performing they can be on their best days. But what if the real measure of leadership is how you show up on your worst days? This episode explains why raising your floor, how you behave under pressure, stress, fatigue, or frustration, shapes your team far more than occasional peak moments. If your team were asked what it’s like to work with you on your best day, the answers might sound great. But what about your worst day? Tommy explains why leadership is less about brilliance and more about consistency, predictability, and emotional safety. When leaders justify poor behaviour with pressure, seniority, or stress, the impact multiplies across the business. Using practical frameworks, relatable examples, and real-world leadership psychology, this episode helps leaders identify their “floor behaviours” and provides tools to consciously raise them.
