7 Places the Leadership Performance Tax is Hiding

7 Places The Performance Tax Is Hiding In Your Organisation

The invisible cost most CEOs never see on a balance sheet, and why it is the single biggest

drain on senior leadership performance.

Most organisations are not failing on strategy. They are failing on identity. And the cost of

that failure is being paid every day in a currency that never appears on a financial

statement.

I am calling it the Performance Tax.

It is the energy senior leaders spend managing how they are perceived instead of doing the

work of leading. It is not professionalism, because that is an external behavior. The

Performance Tax is internal labour: the split-second calculations before you speak, the

second-guessing after, the constant monitoring of tone to stay inside the narrow band of

“acceptable” for a leader at this level.

Most of it is paid by your most senior women.

Most of it is invisible to your board.

And most of it is recoverable, but only once you can see it.
