    The Science of High Performance with James Hewitt

    Most leaders think high performance is a simple equation: more hours, more hustle, more grit. And in a short-term crisis, that approach can even look like it’s working—war rooms, late nights, and relentless pressure that “proves” productivity. But sustained high performance doesn’t come from staying on all the time. It comes from knowing when to push—and when to recover—so your energy, judgment, and emotional control don’t quietly degrade the very results you’re chasing. In this conversation with James Hewitt, we unpack why “always on” leadership can actually reduce inspiration, erode psychological safety, and trap teams in reactive cycles. And we explore a smarter alternative: treating recovery as a strategic advantage, using small experiments to shift behavior, and building teams that can respond skillfully under pressure instead of just grinding harder. If you want high performance that lasts—without burnout—this is the mindset shift that changes everything. // NEWSLETTER Want to build your best team ever?

    Fix Your Focus at Work (And Get More Done)

    Are all your productivity tools actually making you...less productive? The average knowledge worker toggles between platforms 1,200 times a day.

    AI & Creativity

    Want to build your best team ever? Join 25,000+ who receive these insights in my free newsletter: https://davidburkus.com/podcast AI can boost creativity, but is it killing collaboration? It'a true, tools like ChatGPT can help and also hurt your team's ability to innovate together. I’ll walk you through research-backed insights showing how over-reliance on AI can lead to sameness, less surprising ideas, and fewer true breakthroughs. Creativity isn’t a solo sport, it’s a team sport, and great teams thrive on psychological safety, cognitive diversity, and yes, a little friction. If you lead a team and want more innovation, better brainstorming, and stronger collaboration, watch this before your next meeting. And no, copying this video into ChatGPT for a summary isn’t going to cut it.
