Glass Ceiling

The hidden constraints capping a manager’s impact.


Team Managers | Performance | Principle vs Glass Ceiling | Kenny Wallace | Peak Performance Unlocked

Principle: Build tactics that empower decision-making.

Glass Ceiling: You align schedules, fixtures, and performance targets, yet decision-making can become reactive to short-term pressures. Without performance psychology shaping clarity and focus, long-term progress is disrupted by constant firefighting, leaving potential gains unrealised.

Team Managers | People | Principle vs Glass Ceiling | Kenny Wallace | Peak Performance Unlocked

Principle: Build a culture that epitomises the pursuit of excellence.

Glass Ceiling: You manage athletes, coaches, and support staff, but culture risks becoming routine maintenance rather than relentless growth. Without psychological frameworks to harness motivation, accountability, and ambition, the team drifts toward complacency instead of consistent high performance.

Team Managers | Process | Principle vs Glass Ceiling | Kenny Wallace | Peak Performance Unlocked

Principle: Build operational structures that enable swift execution.

Glass Ceiling: Match-day logistics and training operations run smoothly, but systems often lack the adaptability to absorb setbacks or sudden changes. Without performance psychology embedded in processes, cracks appear under pressure, and the club struggles to convert preparation to sustained success.

These follow The Peter Principle, represented below: People are promoted based on their success in previous roles until they reach a level at which they are no longer competent, as skills in one role do not necessarily transfer to another.

 

If this sounds familiar, let’s explore how to break through. Work with me.

“We don't rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training.”

Mission Ready

Clear vision. Aligned culture. Sustained success.


Team Managers | Performance | Principle vs Mission Readiness | Kenny Wallace | Peak Performance Unlocked

Principle: Build tactics that empower decision-making.

Mission Ready: With performance psychology embedded, you shift from firefighting to foresight. Decisions are grounded in clarity, pressure sharpens rather than clouds thinking, and long-term objectives stay on track even when challenges arise.

Team Managers | People | Principle vs Mission Readiness | Kenny Wallace | Peak Performance Unlocked

Principle: Build a culture that epitomises the pursuit of excellence.

Mission Ready: Supported by psychological frameworks, you transform culture from maintaining harmony into driving hunger. Staff, players, and stakeholders embrace accountability, feedback is constructive, and ambition becomes a collective force.

Principle: Build operational structures that enable swift execution.

Mission Ready: With performance psychology woven into systems, communication tightens, adaptability grows, and pressure no longer fractures routines. Preparation flows seamlessly into consistent delivery, sustaining a club environment built to win.

These principles and their corresponding actions enable individuals, teams & organisations to access flow, the sense of effortless progress, everything working as it should when it should. Below is a simplified example of how leadership roles should interconnect:
