In this special deep dive into his Essential Habits, Johann reveals the unique system he uses to stay grounded, lead with clarity, and achieve world-class results, from the Springboks and Munster to transforming Bath Rugby.</p><br><p>This episode is a masterclass in purpose-driven leadership, where Johann shares:</p><p><br></p><ul><li><strong>The Notebook Habit</strong>: Why he carries a notebook everywhere and must 'Think in Ink' writing his thoughts down hourly for reflection, clarity, and decision-making.</li><li><strong>Stillness in the Storm</strong>: His foundational habit of beginning every morning with a moment of stillness to manage stress and stay calm in chaos.</li><li><strong>Unshakeable Trust</strong>: How he surrounds himself with a small circle of six mentors who are mandated to "always tell me the truth" even when he doesn't want to hear it.</li><li><strong>The Blueprint for Unmissable</strong>: The simple principle that "Rugby is what we do, it's not who we are," and his relentless drive to "become unmissable" by doing the things others aren't prepared to do.</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Before every game, Johann takes time to replay his week, not tactics or strategy, but interactions. He asks himself: Did I listen enough? Did I lift someone today? Did I stay true to my values? It’s a simple practice, but one that shapes everything about how he leads.</p><br><p>This is a rare and special look inside the mind of a top-level head coach.</p><br><p><br></p> <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
