This week, commit to a 1% shift in how you lead, think or show up.
Neuroscience confirms that small, repeated changes rewire the brain far more effectively than dramatic overhauls. This is know as “the slight edge”, the quiet habits that compound into mastery over time.
For decades, intelligence was treated like a ranking system. A single score that quietly separated the “high potential” from everyone else. But leadership rarely follows that script. It is worth noting that the traits that shape influence are often the ones we fail to measure.
Neuroscience now confirms this.
Researchers at Harvard and MIT have shown that problem-solving relies on multiple neural networks, not just logical reasoning. Meanwhile, Dr. Howard Gardner’s work in the United States reframed intelligence as a spectrum, not a scale.
Every December, leaders gather around strategy tables with one question in mind, “what’s next?”
But perhaps the real question we should be asking is “how will we get there?”
We often confuse movement with progress, a flurry of meetings, KPIs and dashboards, yet what truly propels an organisation forward is alignment between strategy, tactics and operations. Without it, vision becomes rhetoric. With it, execution becomes legacy.

I love this article, it really resonates with me. As leaders, especially women leaders, it's very easy to cram a lot of 'to do items' into one day, but focusing on the 1% and being consistent with it will really move the needle of achievement in the right direction and make the big difference
