Episode Synopsis

Dr. Joe Hill has identified the most counterintuitive barrier to breakthrough performance in leadership: your smartest people can actually become your team's biggest limitation. As founder of Higher Performance Group and creator of the TQ | Team Intelligence methodology, Dr. Joe spent three decades in educational leadership watching brilliant individuals with PhDs somehow create teams that perform at only 60% capacity, what he calls the "Individual Brilliance Ceiling."His "Cancel Average" philosophy isn't just about incremental improvement; it's a declaration of war against the complacency and mediocrity that keeps talented teams stuck at 60% when they're capable of exponentially more. Whether you're leading a team stuck in average performance or sensing there's more potential you're not tapping, Dr. Joe's honest, direct approach will show you the path forward.
