Most leaders spend their time focused on two groups: their highest performers and their lowest performers.
But what if the biggest opportunity is sitting somewhere in the middle?
In this episode of Relentless & Real, Heather Verity and Jennifer Lawson unpack the Mountain of Average, a leadership framework that challenges how we think about performance, culture, and influence. They explore the four types of employees every organization has, why cynicism spreads faster than excellence, and how leaders can create more compelled team members instead of simply managing compliance.
Whether you lead a team of five or five thousand, this conversation will help you recognize where your people are, where you are, and what it takes to build a culture where commitment becomes conviction.
Because great organizations aren't built by eliminating the bottom. They're built by moving the middle.
