In this episode, executive coach Stephanie Schott explores how the game of golf offers valuable lessons for modern leadership. She shares four key takeaways that apply both on the green and in the boardroom:

1. Eternal Studentship: Like golf, leadership requires continuous learning and adaptation.
2. Strategy Over Reaction: Taking time to analyze and plan often leads to better outcomes than quick reactions.
3. Value of External Perspective: Outside input is crucial for identifying blind spots and fostering innovation.
4. Humility as a Superpower: Embracing failure and learning from setbacks is essential for growth.

Through personal anecdotes and thoughtful analysis, this episode challenges listeners to approach leadership with the same mindset as a golfer facing a challenging course – with strategy, adaptability, and a willingness to learn from every stroke.

Whether you're a seasoned executive or an aspiring leader, this unique perspective on leadership will inspire you to embrace the unpredictable nature of both golf and business.

In this thought-provoking episode, executive coach Stephanie Schott explores the concept of "amor fati" - the love of fate - and its powerful application in modern leadership.

Key points covered:

1. The leadership paradox: The need to embrace change despite our instinctual fear of it.
2. The distraction of success and failure: How both winning and losing can pull us away from our core purpose.
3. Introduction to "amor fati": A philosophical approach to loving everything that happens to us, including setbacks.
4. The illusion of control: Insights from a workshop revealing how little leaders actually control.
5. Practical applications of "amor fati" in leadership:
6. Redefining leadership: Shifting from controlling change to guiding organizations through it.
7. A new strategic thinking: Finding courage to proceed in uncertainty and viewing failures as learning opportunities.

Stephanie challenges leaders to embrace this paradox of change, leading from a place of acceptance and adaptability rather than fear and control. She argues that this approach, while uncomfortable, is essential for true transformation and effective modern leadership.
