Jon and Kory discuss how small, consistent improvements can transform team performance 38x in just 1 year. Using lessons from elite cycling and Team Sky’s famously obsessive approach to marginal gains, they explore why high-performing teams rarely improve through one dramatic intervention. Instead, progress comes from making incremental improvements that compound over time.LinksThe Earned Life, Marshall Goldsmith - bookTimestamps00:00 - Start00:24 - Why Jon always wears black02:45 - The compounding power of incremental gains05:16 - Lessons from high performance sport06:48 - The insane 1% improvements Team Sky made to win the Tour De France11:21 - Applying cycling lessons to leadership13:52 - Why you need to ask for feedback16:27 - Just start17:10 - How to see if you’ve actually made progress20:28 - The paradoxical data on incremental progress
