At the start of the work year, most organisations revisit goals and KPIs. What often receives less attention are the everyday habits that determine how those goals are actually pursued: the pace people work at, how pressure is handled, and what “normal” looks like when things get demanding.
This matters even more for teams operating across borders, where work can span different time zones, cultural expectations, and ways of communicating. In these settings, productivity is easily confused with speed and urgency: being constantly available, replying fast, and pushing through tiredness. Teams stay busy, but work begins to feel draining rather than effective. Sustainable performance depends less on raw effort and more on the conditions people work in.
This is where leadership matters most. Leaders set the rhythm of work, and when they default to urgency, their teams follow. When leaders work with intention and steadiness, productivity becomes more consistent and sustainable.
Leadership Coaching for peak performance supports this shift. It helps leaders recognise the habits they are reinforcing, regulate their responses to pressure, and build healthier rhythms of work that support both performance and wellbeing. The result is not less ambition, but clearer thinking, better decisions, and teams that can perform over the long term.
This year, let’s think more about how work is done, and not just about what needs to be done. Reach out to us, your needs are kept in mind.
