Intentional Leadership: Dealing with Impulses and Applying Self-Control

Intentional Leadership: Dealing with Impulses and Applying Self-Control

In this episode of Scaling New Heights: Leadership at the Next Level, Nick delves into the crucial distinction between impulse control and self-control and their impact on effective leadership.

Through relatable examples and practical insights, Nick explains how impulse control serves as an in-the-moment brake pedal, while self-control functions as a steering wheel to avoid long-term pitfalls.

He outlines strategies for both, from micro pauses and removing decision triggers to building supportive routines and habits. The episode closes with reflective questions designed to help leaders identify and manage impulsive behaviours, fostering intentional and value-driven leadership.
