À propos de cet audio

This episode of Gravitas WINS Conversations is a must-listen for senior technology leaders—especially CTOs—who want to scale not just systems, but themselves. In conversation with Joseph Jude, CTO coach and author Viktor Nyblom breaks down what separates elite performers from the rest. It’s not knowledge or skill, it’s clarity, energy, and transformation. This episode explores why even the best leaders need coaches, what human connection offers that AI can't, how to avoid burnout, and the importance of being both intense and kind. If you're leading teams, feeling stuck, or craving purposeful leadership, this is for you.🔑 5 Major Points from the Conversation1. Why High-Performing CTOs Need a Coach- Human coaches spot blind spots that AI can’t, by reading emotions and asking deeper follow-ups.- Coaching isn’t about more information, it’s about transformation through reflection and accountability.- Great CTOs often have narrow fields of view; coaching helps them expand perspective.2. Energy as a Leadership Multiplier- Energy, not time, is the key to high performance and focus.- Managing energy involves good sleep, intentional routines, and periodic recovery.- Exercise and diet create a positive feedback loop for both physical and mental energy.3. How to Prevent and Recover from Burnout- Listen to others who notice stress or exhaustion before you do.- Burnout shows in declining energy across the week and low return on high effort.- Structured recovery practices (like Sabbaths, workouts, and device-free time) are essential.4. Leading with Clarity: The “User Manual of Me”- Explicit communication reduces friction in teams, especially across cultures.- Writing a personal "user manual" helps teammates understand your work style and preferences.- Building psychological safety involves sharing how you operate and inviting others to do the same.5. Balancing Intensity with Kindness- During high-stakes execution, bring full energy—but return to human connection afterwards.- Kindness creates psychological safety, which drives long-term performance.- Leadership means focusing on systems, not scapegoating people during failures.💬 5 Memorable Quotes- "Energy is the multiplier. If you attack the problem with full energy, you can achieve anything."- "A coach helps you see what you can’t see. AI can’t look you in the eye and say, ‘Really? Are you sure?’"- "Write a user manual of me. Make explicit what is otherwise implicit—it reduces friction."- "Be a little kinder than necessary. On the field, go hard. Off the field, be human."- "If you don’t have a higher purpose, there will always be something missing, even if you can’t name it."What you'll listen(00:00) - Introduction(01:45) - Why elite CTOs need a coach(02:48) - What can human coach give that GenAI tools can't?(04:54) - Viktor's coaching model(08:04) - Why energy is more important than everything else(11:22) - Let's talk about burnout(14:30) - Practice recovery rituals to avoid burnout(16:44) - User Manual Of Me(22:41) - Elite CTOs don't just scale teams ...(25:38) - Be little kinder than necessary(31:58) - Spiritual Energy(36:46) - Kindest thing someone has done(38:21) - Best leadership quality(40:46) - Definition of living a good lifeConnect with meTwitter: https://twitter.com/jjudeLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jjude/Website: https://jjude.com/Newsletter: https://gravitaswinsradio.substack.com/Youtube: https://youtube.com/gravitaswinsEmail: podcast@jjude.comExecutive Coaching Program: https://gravitaswins.comConnect with ViktorLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/viktornyblom/Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/nyblom.ioYour feedback countsThank you for listening.
