The 12 Day Performance Test: Lessons from College Football

You get only 12 days. That's it. We're going to evaluate whether you stay or get fired on how you perform in those 12 days. In this episode, Lone Rock Leadership co-founder Russ Hill compares college football coaches to modern day managers. Some organizations reflect winning universities and some look and operate like losers. Some of what Russ covers: • performance as the true end, not engagement • the twelve-games vs four-quarters mindset • moving fast on underperformance with clear lifelines • investing in systems before raising expectations • customer proximity and market trend awareness • building feedback loops that drive behavior change • making metrics visible and acting on misses • recruiting and retaining talent with a trophy standard Share this episode with a colleague, your team, or a friend.
