About this research

8,000+ leader reflections collected over five years. Participants span technology, industrial services, healthcare, and non-profit — from ASX-listed companies to 65-person organisations.

Methodology co-developed with Professor Anne Lytle, who spent 30 years teaching leadership at Kellogg, Melbourne Business School, and Monash University (Professor and Director of Leadership). Her research background in neurobiology (Cornell) and organisational behaviour (Kellogg PhD) shaped the science-based approach.

Past-president of the International Association for Conflict Management. Consulted to ANZ, Boeing, Qantas, Telstra, and the United Nations.

Recognised by AACSB's Innovations That Inspire — the global standard-setting body that accredits Harvard, Wharton, INSEAD, and London Business School.

We all face increasing pressure to get more done, with less, faster.

Rampant downsizing and cost cutting mean that most of us feel we’re doing more work than ever before. Yet the work we do just gets more complicated.

We need to analyse, plan, create and solve problems to help our teams and organisations thrive in an uncertain, hyper-competitive world.

To do that, we need focus. And there are three key ways to do that:

  • distraction-proof yourself
  • learn to mono-task
  • find flow to amplify your performance.

Why is it useful?

There’s no question about it: if we want to deliver high-quality thinking in limited timeframes, we need to focus our attention and effort.

But the reality is that most workplaces are extremely distracting, and our minds love a distraction! Together, these factors create a dilemma: we need to get more done, but we’re more distracted than ever.

Performance is about focus. Your ability to focus your attention on what matters, and work through the wealth of distractions in your path, underpins your success as a leader.

Fortunately, Leda can help you navigate your way to a fresher focus — and stronger leadership.
