About this episode

Larry Weidel interviews Sebastien Page about the psychological frameworks that differentiate high achievers from exceptional leaders.

The difference between high achievers and the truly exceptional lies not in their victories, but in how they process defeat, adapt under pressure, and sustain performance over decades. In this episode of Big Hitters with Larry Weidel, host Larry Weidel sits down with Sebastien Page, Global Head of Multi-Asset at T. Rowe Price and author of The Psychology of Leadership, to explore the psychological frameworks that separate winners from pretenders. With $500+ billion in assets under management built through rigorous research and real-world application, Page reveals how the world's best investors, athletes, and leaders approach failure, resilience, and the counterintuitive skills required at the top.
