CFOs are used to seeking control: better data, sharper forecasts, clearer scenarios. But what happens when circumstances change faster than the numbers can explain them, information is incomplete and a decision still has to be made?
In those moments, high performance depends on more than analysis.

Neuroscientist and psychologist Dr. Marcia Goddard has spent more than a decade studying what enables people and teams to perform at their best. Drawing on neuroscience, her research and experience with senior leaders and top teams in Formula 1, she brings the science of high performance from the racetrack to the C-suite. Using insights from her new book Driving Performance, Marcia explores what pressure and continuous change do to our judgement and decision-making. How do leaders remain clear when decisions must be made at speed? And how do they create the conditions for hundreds of people to perform as one when the margins for error are exceptionally small?

At Circuit Zandvoort, Marcia challenges one of our strongest leadership instincts: when does greater control improve performance, and when does it start getting in the way?
