"High performance is not about perfection or superiority—it’s about reaching your best potential, whatever that may be, and doing it sustainably without sacrificing your health or well-being." - Agnes Cserhati
In this episode of It's an Inside Job, I sit down with returning guest and newly published author Agnes Cserhati to discuss her groundbreaking book:
Performance Advantage: 12 Success Principles Every Senior Leader Needs to Know But Executive Courses Don’t Teach.
Agnes shares the real story behind writing the book—from her motivations and challenges to the unlearning and vulnerability it required. Together, we explore how performance isn’t about perfection or relentless output—it’s about sustaining excellence over time through self-awareness, resilience, and thoughtful leadership. Whether you’re a senior leader or aspiring one, this episode is packed with honest insights you won’t find in a typical executive course.
What We Cover in This Episode:
- The difference between achievement and performance—and why the distinction matters
- Why performance is a process, not a result, and how to build sustainable high performance
- The role of rest, recovery, and reflection in leadership
- How Agnes redefined her own leadership philosophy through vulnerability and storytelling
- The challenges and surprises of writing a book that blends practical principles with personal experience
- The importance of unlearning and self-leadership as foundational tools for long-term growth
- Why every leader needs to define their own version of success—instead of chasing someone else’s
- How resilience, especially personal resilience, became the heartbeat of her message
