What if everything we've been taught about competition in business is fundamentally flawed? In this thought-provoking conversation with Jeff Allen, we challenge the core belief that competition brings out our best and explore why it actually creates dysfunction instead of excellence.Competition divides the world into winners and losers, destroying the very relationships that make success possible. "You don't achieve success through competition, you achieve success through mutuality," Jeff explains, revealing how this mindset shift can transform team dynamics. We examine how fear-based leadership diminishes performance across entire organizations and why supporting team members who struggle creates more powerful outcomes than replacing them.The conversation takes a surprising turn when we discover the parallel between friendship and leadership. Both require genuine giving, connection, and the willingness to support others in their growth. We also uncover the hidden patterns that cause leaders to feel victimized by their own success – how unconscious agendas cause us to "hide our taking under a mountain of apparent giving." By diving below the waterline of conscious behavior, we illuminate why raising our awareness about these patterns creates breakthrough leadership possibilities.Ready to transform your approach to leadership? Listen now and discover why connection rather than competition might be your greatest untapped resource for creating extraordinary results. Share your thoughts about how these ideas could apply in your organization – we'd love to continue this important conversation with you.Listen to the Leadership Espresso Podcast:https://open.spotify.com/show/4OT3BYzDHMafETOMgFEor3 View the Leadership Espresso Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@Stefangoetz_Global_Leadership/videos Connect with Stefan Götz on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stefangoetz/ Check out Stefan's Executive and Team Coachinghttps://www.stefan-goetz.com/
