“Your team will always only perform to right here. They're never going to perform above you. They're not going to run faster around the track than you are. They're only going to run as fast as you're running. If you're showing up early, they're going to show up early. If you show up late, they're going to show up late. If you do two extra calls, they're going to do two extra calls… So if we want a higher and higher and higher performing team, then we have to have higher and higher and higher performing leaders of that particular team.”

S04E01 of the Rethink Culture podcast shines the spotlight on Andy Bailey, bestselling author and founder/CEO of Petra Coach and Boundless.me that inspire, transform, and scale teams and organizations through a no-nonsense entrepreneurial coaching approach.

In this episode, Andreas and Andy explore why people, not products or capital, are the true bottleneck to growth and how unlocking individual potential drives collective success. Using “rock-to-rock” mountaineering metaphors, Andy shows how small, focused wins overcome comfort-seeking and build belief. He also explains why leaders must manage both performance and cultural fit in real time, and defines leadership as the ongoing art of setting clear goals, owning outcomes, and inspiring others to join the climb.
