Ep 363: The Trap of the High Gradient

The Transformational Leader

A gradient is the steepness with which we confront you and present whatever work there is for you to do. It’s like going into a gym and picking up a 6,000-pound weight. That rate is going to be a high gradient for your muscles to adapt to, while a low-pound weight might be too low of a gradient. In transformational work, we seek to find the gradient that is going to support you. In this thought-provoking episode, Adam Quiney explores the trap of the high gradient—the often misguided belief that transformation must be intense, difficult, or dramatic to be effective.
