The best leaders in the world don't obsess over winning. They obsess over mastery. And the difference between those two approaches - according to T. Rowe Price CIO Sebastien Page - is exactly what separates good performers from elite ones.

Sebastien Page oversees over a trillion dollars in assets, has spent decades applying sports psychology to business leadership and just wrote the book on it - literally. The Psychology of Leadership is one of the sharpest frameworks for high-performance decision-making you'll find anywhere.

This is a sharp, no-fluff conversation about the psychology of leadership, decision making under pressure and the mental habits that drive elite performance at every level - from Olympic athletes to Fortune 500 boardrooms.
