1
If I just say to you, build your company so that you hit your numbers this year,
2
you're going to go and make a certain number of decisions.
3
If I say to you, build your company so that you can last beyond yourself, that you can last 50 years,
4
I don't have to give you much direction specifically of what to do.
5
A lot of it's inherent, like the metrics that you set.
6
I'll use me for example.
7
Of course I have annual numbers that we aim to hit. Of course.
8
Right?
9
But they're not so absolute.
10
For example, I care much more about the trend.
11
So if I'm trending in the right direction, but I miss the number, I'm happy and I reward the team.
12
I also don't tie my executives' performance to a number at the end of the year.
13
Their scorecards, what they get measured for, is not hitting numbers.
14
It's what we call playing the plate of perfection, which I learned from Trek Bicycles which is, you know, no sports team practices winning.
15
You don't go and practice winning.
16
You practice the plays.
17
And then if you have a good coach, you go on the field and you don't win, you don't play to win.
18
You make sure that you play each play like you practiced.
19
But there are very little things.
20
I can give you a couple of practical ones that are so easy to do.
21
Replace judgment with curiosity.
22
Okay, so here's a real example.
23
somebody's performance is struggling here's a standard a standard way in
24
which you deal with it you go into their office you say
25
or you zoom them
26
and you say to them your performance has been down for the past three months we've had this conversation before
27
if you don't pick up your numbers I don't know what's gonna happen right that's not inspiring now let's replace
28
that with curiosity and empathy.
29
Your numbers have been down for the past three months.
30
We've had this conversation before.
31
Are you okay?
32
I'm worried about you.
33
What's going on?
34
You know, what you're doing is you're creating a corporate culture
35
and you're creating a psychological safety that those people
36
that you care for will give you more and work harder and ensure that your company is stronger.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
