Bite Size: The Leadership Mindset That Helped Me Overcome Life’s Biggest Test | Reini Otter

You can’t always control the chaos around you — but you can control the mindset you bring to it. 

In this Bite Size from episode 112, CEO Reini Otter shares how his approach to leadership completely shifted after a life-changing cancer diagnosis — and why real performance isn’t just about strategy, it’s about perspective. 

Reini unpacks the concept of high-altitude thinking — the ability to zoom out, rise above the day-to-day noise, and see the bigger picture. He explains why building strong workplace culture isn’t just the leader’s job — it takes the whole organisation — and how humility became one of his most important leadership tools. 

Whether you're leading teams, driving performance, or navigating your own high-pressure moments — learning to think at altitude could change everything.
