Sébastien Page, Chief Investment Officer and Head of Global Multi‑Asset at T. Rowe Price, joins Inspire Greatness to share three unconventional leadership insights that challenge traditional thinking. Hosted by Matt Tenney, this episode highlights how staying mindful of unintended consequences, embracing healthy disagreement, and tapping into productive worry can transform the way leaders inspire greatness.

From the surprising lesson of “why you shouldn’t die on Everest” to the hidden risks of measurable goals, Sébastien Page reveals how leaders can stay grounded and avoid the unintended consequences of well‑intentioned metrics.

He also explains why being just a little disagreeable can strengthen your leadership—and why businesses shouldn’t function like democracies if they want clarity, accountability, and high performance.

Finally, Sébastien shares how learning to “love to worry” can help leaders tap into the productive side of neuroticism and turn anxiety into strategic insight.

You’ll hear stories that challenge assumptions, spark new ideas, and offer practical tools you can put into practice today.

Matt Tenney guides the conversation with thoughtful questions that uncover both the personal and professional sides of leadership.
