The Difference Between the Outer and Inner Game.
When we think of leadership, we often focus on what’s visible: managing te ams, building strategies, and hitting goals—the “outer game.” But true leadership goes much deeper. In my latest video, I explore a concept that is often overlooked but crucial for any leader: the inner game.
