[LL]: What COVID Taught Me About Pressure

Hey Leader 🙌

March 16, 2020.

A day I’ll never forget.

Overnight, hundreds of our Fit Body Boot Camp locations were forced to shut down.

Our franchise owners were scared.

Their teams were scared.

Heck, I was scared.

But that experience taught me one of the most powerful lessons of my leadership career.

Adversity is ENERGY.

And as a leader, where you direct that energy determines your outcome.

Left unchecked, it fuels fear and paralysis.

But with purpose and direction, it creates FOCUS and MOMENTUM.

That’s exactly how we turned a moment of crisis into action, pivoting our business model virtually within 24 hours.

The lesson? 

Pressure doesn’t have to break your team.

 It can FORGE your team.

I recently unpacked this experience with my good friend Shawn Stevenson on The Model Health Show.

We discussed how great leaders turn adversity into an advantage and why high performance is FORGED under pressure.

The 5 Immutable Rules of Leadership

1. Take Extreme Ownership: Everything is your responsibility, even when it’s not your fault.
2. Put Your Oxygen Mask On First: Lead yourself before leading others.
3. Wield Influence Through Moral Authority: People follow who you are, not what you say.
4. It’s Not About You, Never Was, Never Will Be: Elevate others, build legacy.
5. Turn Adversity Into Advantage: Pain is your power; use it.
