Paul J. Walsh shared thisExecute with intent. Technology leadership is integral to a strong digital evolution strategy aligned to the organization’s needs. Executing on the strategy largely falls on the technology function, with the CIO ultimately making the tech investments, implementing the change capabilities, and bringing the larger organization along on the journey. Tech leaders should take stock of where they are and what they are investing in, and be very thoughtful about their choices and narratives.

Paul J. Walsh reacted on thisPaul J. Walsh reacted on thisTwo weeks ago I had the chance to visit our Dublin office again and it was such a great experience to spend time with the DTIS team in person. It was especially great getting to hear directly from our Sr. Vice President Paul J. Walsh and and spend time connecting with the amazing people who make up the Dublin office. Each visit reminds me how much talent, energy and collaboration exists across our teams. I feel incredibly grateful that my role allows me to work so closely with our colleagues in Ireland and even more grateful for the opportunities I've been given to visit their office and strengthen those relationships in person. Visits like this reinforce how valuable in person connection can be when working across global teams. The collaboration, ideas and energy that come from bringing people together are what make our work even stronger!

Paul J. Walsh liked thisPaul J. Walsh liked thisPeople Driving Performance | #3 For the third post in this series, I’m highlighting Peter Hodgkinson (former Head of Build/Head of Employee Experience at Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team). Peter’s superpower is taking something massive (an F1 season, a department, a culture) and making it operationally doable, without losing standards. Three quotes from Peter. Three distinct high-performance lessons: “𝙄𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙖𝙩 𝙖 𝙁𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙪𝙡𝙖 𝙊𝙣𝙚 𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙤𝙣 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙗𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙚𝙣𝙙, 𝙞𝙩’𝙨 𝙩𝙤𝙤 𝙗𝙞𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩. 𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙢𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙫𝙚, 𝙞𝙩’𝙨 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙡𝙤𝙖𝙙, 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙢. 𝙏𝙤𝙤 𝙗𝙞𝙜.” Peter describes how overwhelming a season can feel when people try to hold the calendar, development cycle, and performance pressure in their heads at once. If the goal feels psychologically unfinishable, motivation dies early. High performers don’t "power through" overwhelm. They chunk the work so the brain stays in challenge mode instead of threat mode. “𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙠 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙙𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣, 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩’𝙨 𝙣𝙚𝙭𝙩.” After major milestones or successes, the team would deliberately pause to reflect on what had been achieved, instead of immediately shifting focus to the next target. The goal was to create psychological closure and shared meaning, so people fully registered progress before the pressure of the next phase kicked in. This is great leadership. If you move straight to "what’s next," your team never gets the dopamine hit of completion, but rather just an endless treadmill. Closure is a crucial performance tool. “𝙄𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙖 𝙥𝙖𝙮 𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙚, 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙𝙣’𝙩 𝙗𝙚𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙖 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙠𝙚𝙧.” Performance standards at Mercedes were not just technical, but also explicitly behavioral. Progression and rewards were tied not only to what people delivered, but to how they showed up and treated others. Sustainable performance is not just WHAT you deliver, but also HOW you deliver it. This approach prevents "brilliant jerks" from quietly torching culture while everyone pretends it’s fine. The main lesson? Build systems that reinforce progress, and protect the culture like it’s part of the car. Because it is. 📕 This is one of many stories behind my book Driving Performance, where Formula 1 meets neuroscience to explain what sustainable high performance really looks like. 🧠 If you’re curious how these lessons translate to your own team or organization, that’s exactly what the book (and my work) is about. Driving Performance is available for pre-order now on Amazon (and all your favorite book-buying platforms!). 🔔 If your organization is interested in a keynote or session based on these lessons: I’m offering a limited number of complimentary sessions for companies that purchase books for their organization.

Paul J. Walsh liked thisPaul J. Walsh liked thisIt was such a pleasure to be invited to join Pat Kenny and friends yesterday as he celebrated the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. In 2013 I was lucky to be part of the small undercover snatch team that convinced Pat Kenny to join Newstalk from RTE. His arrival to Newstalk was a seismic moment for Irish media and was the accelerator to build Newstalk into the success it is today. Pat brought an unparalleled level of professionalism and standards to the station and in particular gave so much of his time to mentor younger production staff and reporters. There are few people who can truly be called legends and Pat is one. I’m looking forward to Pat disrupting the airwaves on Saturdays and Sundays from March. A class act. #radio #ireland #broadcasting

Paul J. Walsh reacted on thisPaul J. Walsh reacted on thisAfter a 40+ year sales career, including 32 years selling PlayStation and 20 as an executive at Sony Interactive Entertainment, I am headed to the beach! I leave with a heart full of gratitude and incredible memories, as well as a deep appreciation for the amazing colleagues, business partners, and friends I have been fortunate to work alongside across the decades and the many stages of my life. I will miss the moments, the months, and the years of laughs, highlights, and occasional hysteria we shared. I wish you nothing but health and happiness on your personal journeys. Thank you for your trust, your help, and your friendship. I could not have reached this day without you. Much love and aloha 😎 Phil

Paul J. Walsh reacted on thisPaul J. Walsh reacted on thisJanuary is not my favourite month. It is the beginning of the long haul out of winter. Both my parents died in the month of January, though almost 20 years apart. Just last January I lost a colleague from my Microsoft days for whom life became too much. A small favour to ask all my contacts on LinkedIn. If you have a friend, colleague, cousin, neighbour or acquaintance who seems a little off, or not themselves, just ask them "is everything okay with you?". People are slow to burden others with their real or perceived issues, but sharing can be the first step in getting help. Some may think this is being too nosey, but don't be that person that afterwards says "I wish I had known or I wish they had told me".
