David brings a bull's perspective to leadership—focused on multiplying impact without multiplying hours, building teams that perform without constant direction, and thriving rather than just surviving.

What is The High Performance Herd?

Welcome to The High-Performance Herd, where CEOs and founders learn to multiply impact without multiplying hours. I'm David Quick—I've been in the CEO seat three times and coached over 1,500 leaders through the messy reality of scaling teams and building high-performing cultures.
This podcast features peer conversations with business leaders navigating real challenges: being the bottleneck where everything runs through you, managing disconnected leadership teams, working unsustainable hours, or leading teams that need constant direction.
We explore how to transition from overextended operator to empowered leader, build teams that perform without micromanagement, and create the leverage that lets you thrive instead of just survive. No guru nonsense—just honest conversations between bulls who've been in the arena.
Whether you're scaling from founder-led sales to a real team, struggling with misaligned leaders, or wondering if there's a better way than working 70-hour weeks, you'll find practical frameworks and real stories from leaders who've found their path.
This is The High-Performance Herd.
