The Rugby World Cup kicks off this weekend, and we can’t wait.
If you are interested in Leadership, then we recommend your first stop this weekend is to get hold of a book called Legacy about the All Blacks Rugby Team (New Zealand)
Legacy, written by James Kerr, is a compelling exploration of the All Blacks’ unique team culture that has propelled them to extraordinary success on the rugby field. Kerr meticulously unravels the team’s ethos, shedding light on the principles that underpin their high-performance mindset. The book delves into a rich tapestry of insights, from the importance of leaving the jersey in a better place to the power of personal responsibility, all presented through riveting anecdotes and player interviews. A must-read not just for rugby enthusiasts, but for anyone aspiring to instil a culture of excellence and teamwork.
But back to the newsletter. Today, we want to share five key insights that will help you change how you think about change, data, driving performance and building your career.

In “The Danger of Averages: Why They Can Mislead and Misrepresent,” the article dives into the often-overlooked pitfalls of relying on averages. While averages can provide a simple summary of complex data, they can also distort reality, hiding important variations and nuances within the data. By focusing too heavily on the ‘average,’ we risk making decisions based on a half-truth, potentially leading to ineffective strategies and misguided expectations. The article encourages a more nuanced approach to data interpretation, advocating for the exploration of full data distributions to uncover the complete story hidden within the numbers.

This article highlights the prevalent issue of excessive theoretical training in work environments and its ineffectiveness in solving practical problems. Knowledge gained passively through excessive classroom-based learning often fails to translate into practical skills required in real-world situations. Instead, the article advocates for the importance and effectiveness of experiential learning, encouraging companies to consider more hands-on training approaches. These practical learning methods, it suggests, are key to fostering an adaptive, problem-solving workforce capable of overcoming real-world challenges.
