Do your beliefs about your team help them grow or hold them back?

In this episode, we explore the powerful concept of the Pygmalion Effect with Sophie Firmager from the Realised Potential Group. This psychological phenomenon reveals how a leader's expectations can directly shape team performance, influence morale, and impact workplace culture. Sophie unpacks how belief, whether positive or negative, can become a self-fulfilling prophecy in the workplace, and what leaders can do to create an environment where people truly thrive.

We cover:

✅ The psychology behind the Pygmalion Effect

✅ Common leadership traps and how to avoid them

✅ How belief shapes behaviour in teams

✅ Practical ways to build a belief-driven culture
