EP56 - How Understanding McLaren's F1 Problems Could Help Us all

In this week's episode, the last of Season 6, we explore the dilemma that F1 teams face, just like many of us, in deciding when we're prepared enough, as close to perfection as can be, versus the alternate view of just launching the car or project as soon as is viable and learning more rapidly in the 'real world feedback loop'. I'd love any feedback on the podcast too ahead of Season 7, so please let me know what you like or otherwise.

This week, we look at F1 testing and I share some insights into what we can learn from understanding the body language and other layers of communication that lie behind the official press releases and interviews. Studying and interpreting things like the subconscious language our bodies give off in difficult moments can give a fascinating extra dimension to what's going on behind the messages we receive, but also how we think about the messages we want to send out in our businesses and lives.
