No Bullsh!t Leadership

Episode #268 // We know that every individual is unique, and despite all the conventional wisdom about how to motivate people, everyone is completely different in regard to what drives them. In my experience, you never really know what’s going to switch the lights on for someone. You just have to keep trying, over and over, to reach every single person. This means you have to use different (sometimes novel) techniques, and varying levels of pressure. When you see a breakthrough, it’s priceless… it’s worth every moment you’ve spent, and every ounce of energy you’ve put into it. But you also have to be OK with putting in the time and energy and not achieving a breakthrough… because, unfortunately, that’s the more common outcome!This episode begins unconventionally, with a story from the hit TV series, Breaking Bad. I then recount one of the early wins in my career, when I was able to get through to someone. And I finish with 5 practical tips for reaching your people.I've made a FREE PDF Downloadable summary of these 5 practical tips, so make sure you get yours here: www.yourceomentor.com/episode268Source Material: No Bullsh!t Leadership episode:Ep.265 Leadership's Most Underrated Ingredient————————FREE 5 DAY LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE: Want to boost your leadership capability?

Moment #38 // Is the virtually limitless supply of cheap, instantaneously-accessible information making it easier for us to make decisions? And are those decisions any better than the ones we made 20 years ago?Malcolm Gladwell says, “We clutter our decision-making process with extraneous information in the hope that it makes us better off in the end. It's a fool's game.”This moment reminds us to focus on what's most important. Too much information just makes it harder for us to process the information we actually have. You can take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Ep.217: Trusting Your Instincts.————————FREE QUIZ: I’ve developed a 3-question quiz that’ll give you a free personalized podcast playlist tailored to where you are right now in your leadership career!Click here to take the 30-second quiz now to get your on-the-go playlist————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally.👉 Doors are open for Leadership Beyond the Theory.

Episode #267 // Every so often, we produce an episode of No Bullsh!t Leadership that challenges conventional leadership wisdom. I call them my 'myth buster' episodes, and in the past, I’ve taken on some of the most widely accepted axioms: Are happy workers really productive workers?Why is leading from the front a bad idea?Why do consensus-based decisions deliver inferior outcomes?Why is imposter syndrome good for you?Challenging conventional wisdom is tricky, because there’s always at least some measure of truth to it. But we can’t allow ourselves to fall into the habit of accepting these statements as truisms, without considering them a little more rigorously. If we do, we run the risk of believing our own bullsh!t.In this episode, I challenge the notion that management and leadership are separate disciplines: one being aspirational and virtuous, the other being somehow lesser.This is a very practical episode, where I briefly explore the traditional concepts of leadership and management, and then bring them to life with a number of real world examples that demonstrate how intertwined and inseparable the two concepts truly are.Source Material: Harvard Business Review article:You’re a Leader Now: Not Everyone is Going To Like You————————FREE QUIZ: I’ve developed a 3-question quiz that’ll give you a free personalized podcast playlist tailored to where you are right now in your leadership career!Click here to take the 30-second quiz now to get your on-the-go playlist————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally.👉 Doors are open for Leadership Beyond the Theory.

Moment #37 // There's no doubt that systemic bias exists in hiring - but sometimes, even with the best intentions, it's really difficult to improve diversity. Quite often, you’re simply dealing with a shallow pool of talent. Entrenched beliefs and attitudes at lower levels of an organization act as a barrier to progress - not just for women, but for any minority group that's not the typical appointee. The homogenous, safe candidate is effectively ‘green lit’ all the way through the process. It's sometimes hard to find the right candidate, who will improve outcomes by offering greater diversity. But it's even harder to change the mindset of the decision-makers who occupy positions of relative power, at all levels of an organization. You can take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Ep.202: Eliminating Selection Bias.————————FREE QUIZ: I’ve developed a 3-question quiz that’ll give you a free personalized podcast playlist tailored to where you are right now in your leadership career!Click here to take the 30-second quiz now to get your on-the-go playlist————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally.👉 Doors are open for Leadership Beyond the Theory.

Episode #266 // Some of the most impactful transformation work that I saw in large industrial firms came as a result of McKinsey’s involvement: everything from procurement to capital productivity, and operational performance.Last year, three McKinsey partners published a book titled, CEO Excellence: The six mindsets that distinguish the best leaders from the rest. After examining more than 20 years’ worth of data on 7,800 CEOs from 3,500 public companies, they conducted detailed interviews with 67 high-performing CEOs and synthesized their findings in this book. The CEOs interviewed include household names like Mary Barra (GM), Jamie Dimon (JPMorgan Chase), Herbert Hainer (Adidas), Reed Hastings (Netflix), Kaz Hirai (Sony), and Satya Nadella (Microsoft). In this episode, I look at some of the conclusions that were drawn in the book, and discuss them in a way that provides an enlightening summary, from my humble perspective. My hope is that this will help you transition to the most senior ranks of leadership.————————FREE QUIZ: I’ve developed a 3-question quiz that’ll give you a free personalized podcast playlist tailored to where you are right now in your leadership career!Click here to take the 30-second quiz now to get your on-the-go playlist————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally.👉 Doors are open for Leadership Beyond the Theory.

Moment #36 // Well-run businesses can be boring. They don't experience frequent crises and they don't encounter surprises at every turn. Why? Because the leaders understand risk, and they plan accordingly, avoiding the majority of disasters that other companies routinely face. Poorly-run companies thrive on crisis management and firefighting. Once this becomes the predominant culture, people become comfortable living in a break/fix cycle.There's never any real focus on eliminating the root cause of the problem. And there's no leadership drive to reduce the risk that something might fail in the first place. This is a bit like covering a melanoma with a band-aid.You can take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Ep.167: Getting Ahead of the Next Crisis.————————FREE QUIZ: I’ve developed a 3-question quiz that’ll give you a free personalized podcast playlist tailored to where you are right now in your leadership career!Click here to take the 30-second quiz now to get your on-the-go playlist————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally.👉 Doors are open for Leadership Beyond the Theory.

Episode #265 // Em and I work our butts off every day to produce high-quality, practical leadership content that you can apply immediately, to improve your team’s capability and performance. And, even though we talk about the emotional, psychological, and mental barriers that have to be overcome to achieve leadership excellence, what I don’t often talk about is the personal investment in the relationship capital that makes all this possible. You may have heard me talk about the need to establish a high level of trust with your people, and to have boundless empathy (tempered with the strength to do what needs to be done, because you’re courageously committed to getting the absolute best possible outcomes). But what it boils down to, in very simple terms is this: if you aspire to be one of those rare individuals who can move from being a competent leader to a great leader, it takes something more—a deep sense of caring for your people.This is the ingredient that unlocks your ability to do the really hard work of leadership!Source MaterialFast Company article:Grim survey finds workers around the world have a toxic relationship with their jobsImpactEleven website:ImpactElevenSeth Mattison website:Seth MattisonNo Bullsh!t Leadership episode:Ep.1: Respect Before Popularity ————————FREE QUIZ: I’ve developed a 3-question quiz that’ll give you a free personalized podcast playlist tailored to where you are right now in your leadership career!Click here to take the 30-second quiz now to get your on-the-go playlist————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally.👉 Doors are open for Leadership Beyond the Theory.

Moment #35 // There are many ways to end up in the C-suite. You can just choose to work hard, and wait for your promotions. But, in larger organizations, this can take many years. And, at each new layer, you're in competition for the next spot above you with a bunch of other smart, ambitious people from both inside and outside your organization.Even though I’d never hold up my own career path as something you should try to emulate, there are some interesting learnings to take from it. Interestingly, some of my best career moves were horizontal shifts—they were my springboard to the CEO office. You can take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Ep.208: Breaking Into the C-Suite.————————FREE QUIZ: I’ve developed a 3-question quiz that’ll give you a free personalized podcast playlist tailored to where you are right now in your leadership career!Click here to take the 30-second quiz now to get your on-the-go playlist————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally.👉 Doors are open for Leadership Beyond the Theory.

Episode #264 // I read an article in the MIT Sloan Management Review, titled The Art of Balancing Autonomy and Control, which outlines how to get the best results from the innovation activities your company undertakes. The moral of the story is, nose in, fingers out!This led me to think more broadly about the concept of autonomy v control, in particular how it relates to optimizing both performance and employee satisfaction.If you give your people too much autonomy, you risk wasting a lot of effort doing the wrong things… if you exert too much control, you fall into the trap of micromanaging, which introduces inefficiencies and demotivates your people in the process. I learned throughout my career that balancing autonomy and control isn’t just an esoteric discussion: understanding and executing the principle is a critical leadership imperative that will either enhance or degrade the results you achieve.In this episode, I look at the fundamental trade-offs between autonomy and control; I share a little about my journey to increasing control, without becoming a micromanager; and I give some really practical tips for striking the right balance with each individual in your team.Source Material: MIT Sloan Management Review:The Art of Balancing Autonomy and ControlWikipedia Entry:Situational Leadership TheoryAmazon Book:The One Minute Manager ————————FREE QUIZ: I’ve developed a 3-question quiz that’ll give you a free personalized podcast playlist tailored to where you are right now in your leadership career!Click here to take the 30-second quiz now to get your on-the-go playlist————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally.👉 Doors are open for Leadership Beyond the Theory.

Moment #34 // They say that the best disinfectant is sunlight, and I'm a huge believer in that principle. If my direct reports in CS Energy heard it once they heard it a thousand times: transparency is everything. But just how much transparency should you give to your people? Issues of trust, accountability, confidentiality, and context all play a part in how much transparency it’s reasonable to offer. Like many areas of leadership, it can be a complex balance!I wrote an article on this subject for Harvard Business Review earlier this year, which is worth a read. It’s titled How Transparent Should You Be With Your Team?You can also take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Ep.207: Leadership Transparency.————————FREE QUIZ: I’ve developed a 3-question quiz that’ll give you a free personalized podcast playlist tailored to where you are right now in your leadership career!Click here to take the 30-second quiz now to get your on-the-go playlist————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally.👉 Doors are open for Leadership Beyond the Theory.

Episode #263 // After speaking to a group of Executive MBA students last week, I had pause to reflect on my career journey, my educational choices, and what I considered to be the determinants of my modest success to date.If I really distilled the key things that have helped me to grow rapidly over the years, what would they be? I’ve often said that leaders are learners, but you could spend a lot of time these days consuming information, without getting traction: and by traction, I mean gaining the wisdom and insight that would differentiate you as a leader. Although I wouldn’t recommend to anyone that they try to emulate my career path, by the same token I think I’ve managed to maximize the potential of my learning opportunities over the years. These learnings made me better, and I guess that’s really the only yardstick you can use—what’s the relative improvement in you. It’s not about anyone else, it’s about taking responsibility for becoming better over time. If you’re a leader, your people’s welfare will depend on it!  In this episode, I give you my top 5 tips for maximizing your learning opportunities, so that your leadership career can thrive.————————LEADERSHIP BEYOND THE THEORY SEPTEMBER 2023 IS CLOSING THIS WEEK!Become the leader your people deserve: Learn more and join the program here————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally.👉 Doors are open for Leadership Beyond the Theory.

Moment #33 // Why is it so difficult to get over the need to be liked? Because it’s completely ingrained… it's programmed into all of us. It's part of our DNA and it's controlled by our reptilian brain. It's an instinctive response. But, counterintuitively, to be a competent leader you have to overcome that fundamental evolutionary urge. Putting Respect Before Popularity requires a huge amount of empathy, which is why it’s so important to have a highly-developed EQ. Isn't it ironic that the road to higher empathy winds its way straight through the mire of conflict, challenge and accountability? You can take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Ep.206: It's STILL Respect Before Popularity.————————LEADERSHIP BEYOND THE THEORY SEPTEMBER 2023 IS NOW OPEN FOR ENROLLMENT!Become the leader your people deserve: Learn more and join the program here————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally.👉 Doors are open for Leadership Beyond the Theory.

Episode #262 // Really good people get stuck in their careers, for all sorts of reasons. Sometimes, it’s obvious why it’s happening to them, and other times it’s a little more perplexing. We get questions from our leadership community all the time relating to career progression, and they come from all levels—even C-suite executives who want to break into their first CEO role: What do hiring managers look for?What foundational behaviors and capabilities do you need?How do you become “more strategic”?In this Q&A episode, we take a deep dive into some of the factors that are going to put you on the fast track to promotion and career progression.————————LEADERSHIP BEYOND THE THEORY SEPTEMBER 2023 IS NOW OPEN FOR ENROLLMENT!Become the leader your people deserve: Learn more and join the program here————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally.👉 Doors are open for Leadership Beyond the Theory.

Moment #32 // I went through some incredibly disruptive events during my corporate career - and it's fair to say that some of them pushed me to the edge of my personal capacity.  Despite the personal toll, when I look back I’m so grateful that I was able to experience those situations. I never felt that there was anything I couldn't ultimately handle, and the accelerated learning that I took from each situation really turbocharged my career. I couldn't have achieved anywhere near what I did if I was leading people in a warm, stable, and comfortable environment.You can take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Ep.224: Leading Through Major Upheaval.————————LEADERSHIP BEYOND THE THEORY SEPTEMBER 2023 IS NOW OPEN FOR ENROLLMENT!Become the leader your people deserve: Learn more and join the program here————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally.👉 Doors are open for Leadership Beyond the Theory.

Episode #261 // The central element of the No Bullsh!t Leadership Framework is value. It should be the primary focus of every leader, at every level, in every organization. Value first… that’s it!Although we automatically think of financial value, value can be created in many different forms. Your imperative, as a leader, is to understand which of the things your people do genuinely create value, and which things simply generate activity for its own sake. If you can manage to align the work that creates the most value for your company, with the things that benefit your people individually, you will absolutely turbo-charge your team’s performance!This episode dives into the world of value, outlining the key principles of value delivery, describing what a value-driven culture looks like, and exposing some of the common organizational barriers to value creation.Download the FREE PDF that accompanies this episode at www.yourceomentor.com/episode261 ————————Doors for Leadership Beyond the Theory September 2023 are NOW OPEN!

Moment #31 // How comfortable are you when making “high-impact” decisions? You know, the ones that really test you… the ones that scare you... the ones that you know can potentially have serious consequences if you get them wrong. You don't have to be the CEO of a Fortune 100 company to make high-impact decisions. The founder of any small business has to make decisions every day, many of which can potentially make or break their business.No matter how big or small the decision, using your experience and judgment to put it into context is vital.You can take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Ep.216: High Impact Decisions.————————LEADERSHIP BEYOND THE THEORY SEPTEMBER 2023 IS NOW OPEN FOR ENROLLMENT!Become the leader your people deserve: Learn more and join the program here————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally.👉 Doors are open for Leadership Beyond the Theory.

Moment #30 // Why are such vast numbers of senior leaders so prone to believing their own bullsh!t?There are a bunch of underlying (but observable) factors, which we’re all subject to, that push us to believe our own bullsh!t. It takes discipline, self-awareness, and insight to overcome them, and to rise above the facade.This moment looks at four of the key psychological drivers, and how they operate on our subconscious mind.You can take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Ep.143: Believing Your Own Bullsh!t.————————FREE QUIZ: I’ve created a brand new 3-question quiz that’ll give you a free personalized podcast playlist tailored to where you are right now in your leadership career!Click here to take the 30-second quiz now to get your on-the-go playlist————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally.👉 Doors are open for Leadership Beyond the Theory.

Episode #259 // I’ve been doing quite a few guest appearances on other people’s podcasts in recent weeks, and I’ve been asked on several occasions, “Marty, what do you know now, that you wish you’d learned earlier?”… There are any number of life lessons that I could absolutely have used earlier on, and lots of stuff that would have made me a better leader way sooner. But, then again, with the benefit of hindsight and wisdom, I’ve come to realize that the depth and value of any lessons comes from the very fact that they are hard fought and won. Once you learn them, by starting at the right place, going through the trial and error, (and, yes, a little of the essential pain), these lessons stay learned, indelibly imprinted on your psyche. In this episode, I look at the life lessons that took me every one of my 61 years to learn, and the leadership lessons that gave me the ability to formulate my No Bullsh!t Leadership framework. Different lessons come to all of us at different times, which is why your ability to step back to see the big picture is key.————————Access Marty's Proven Strategies to Motivate Your Team and Optimize PerformanceJOIN OUR FREE BOOTCAMP **MOTIVATE TO ELEVATE** HERE————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentor Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/yourceomentorYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor ————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally.👉 Doors are open for Leadership Beyond the Theory.

Moment #29 // Having close friends is one of life’s ultimate joys. But, as a leader, that’s the last thing you want. Being friends with someone who works for you dilutes your objectivity. And no matter how much you think you can overcome this, the reality is… you can’t!A friend in your team will take advantage of your good nature… and you’ll cut them more slack than you should. It’s not intentional, but it is unavoidable. This kills the meritocracy culture.  When friendliness turns into friendship, the unintended consequences are counterproductive to everything you want to achieve, as a leader.You can take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Ep.197: Why Can't We Be Friends?.————————FREE 5 DAY LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE: Want to boost your leadership capability?

Episode #258 // One of the principal occupations of many consultants, speakers, and business experts is to try to predict the future. And, although this is virtually impossible, it doesn’t stop them from trying!  If you’re a regular listener, you’ll know that I try to stay away from predictions for the most part. I’d rather deal with the leadership imperatives that drive performance, and work out how to apply these timeless principles to any given context… This is a subtle but important distinction, and it’s why I feel pretty confident about the guidance I give: how do you apply the proven tools and strategies that I’ve learned in 30+ years of leading at the highest levels.It’s always fun and interesting to look at emerging trends, though, and to extrapolate those to see where they might be taking us. Today, I’m going to indulge in a little bit of that! The World Economic Forum published an article a little while back titled, “Five Key Trends Shaping the New World of Work.” After chewing over these five trends, I thought it’d be worth sharing them with you, and giving some consideration to how likely it is that they’ll dominate our thinking in the medium to long term.Source Material: Economist Article:What Are the Chances of an AI Apocalypse?World Economic Forum ArticleFive Key Trends Shaping the New World of WorkNo Bullsh!t Leadership Episode:Ep.218: Is Working From Home Working?Ep.95: The Joys of OutsourcingEp.221: Managing Supplier RelationshipsDiary of a CEO EpisodeEp.252: Ex-Google Officer Speaks Out On the Dangers of AI————————Join the Leadership Beyond the Theory waitlist here!————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally.👉 Doors are open for Leadership Beyond the Theory.

Moment #28 // How do you go about making an outsourcing decision for your company? It’s important to be clear on exactly why you want to outsource, and to understand the relative cost of doing something yourself, as opposed to having a specialist external firm do it for you.Knowing when to outsource is as critical as any skill you need in business, and this Moment exposes the key questions you need to ask to nail it.You can take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Ep.95: The Joys Of Outsourcing.————————FREE 5 DAY LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE: Want to boost your leadership capability?

Episode #257 // I came across an article by Shanna Hocking, which introduced me to the concept of the Leadership User Manual. Hocking credits its origins to Adam Bryant, who wrote an article almost 10 years ago titled, What if you had to write a user manual about your leadership style? Imagine the power of a physical document that can help your people to understand how they can best work with you. What a great idea! Knowing how your boss operates, and what he values, could save you years of guesswork, as the only other way to work it out is through trial and error. I wish I’d thought of this years ago! In this episode, I take a deep dive into the concept of the leadership user manual. I look at the benefits and risks, and I take you along the journey with me as I develop my own inaugural leadership user manual.We’ve also created a leadership user manual template, a free download, so that you can develop your own guide.Source Material: Books (on Amazon)One Bold Move a Day - Shanna HockingPrinciples - Ray DalioFast Company Article:How to be the boss everyone wants to work for - Shanna HockingLinkedIn ArticlesLeaders Need User Manuals (and what I learned by writing mine) - Abby FalikWhat if you had to write a "User Manual” about your leadership style? - Adam Bryant————————FREE 5 DAY LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE: Want to boost your leadership capability?

Moment #27 // Weak leaders are characterized by what they’re not prepared to do.Weak leaders are unwilling to push back on the boss; they don't put the team's interests ahead of their own; they’re unwilling to set ambitious goals; they’re afraid to challenge, coach, and confront their people; and they’re reluctant to challenge the status quo.What's the price of leadership weakness? Unrealized potential; poor performance; lack of market competitiveness.Eventually, this leads to job cuts, restructures, and redundancies. And in some cases, the company won’t survive. Weak leaders allow performance to slip, and the outcomes are entirely predictable.You can take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Ep.68: The Price Of Leadership Weakness.————————FREE 5 DAY LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE: Want to boost your leadership capability?

Episode #256 // The concept of EQ isn’t new. It was the subject of academic research way back in the 1960s, but it took another 30 years before we gained widespread awareness of it through Daniel Goleman’s classic book, Emotional Intelligence.These days, we have fairly robust tests to measure a person's EQ, and I would never hire a senior executive without having them take those tests… it’s not the be-all-and-end-all, but it does provide another data point to calibrate the observations you make in other parts of the recruitment and selection process.What are the barriers to building your own EQ? To deal with this question, I’ve enlisted the aid of Dr Rebecca Heiss, who’s an expert in all things human behavior and leadership. Her book, Instinct, is all about how to rewire our brains to remove some of the barriers to success.This fascinating discussion may help you to break through some of the barriers that are holding you back.————————This week, I'm doing something that I've never done before.

Moment #26 // Of the many mistakes that new leaders are prone to make, over-functioning for certain individuals is one of the most common, and the most insidious. When you do this, it tells your people that what they're doing isn't good enough. It trains them to be lazy and complacent, because you'll always step in to finish their job for them if you’re not happy. And they'll keep getting paid for not doing their job to the standard you expect. Excellent leaders give their people clarity of purpose, resources, coaching, and autonomy. They lead people to do their jobs—they don’t do their jobs for them.You can take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Ep.172: Stop Doing Your People's Work, or by reading my article in Harvard Business Review.————————FREE 5 DAY LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE: Want to boost your leadership capability?

Episode #255 // Ralph Waldo Emerson once said: “Build a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door!”. This quote, espousing the value of innovation, has been liberally used and abused over the years.I came across it again recently in an article from McKinsey: Turning Around the Productivity Slowdown… so, what is productivity? And what’s the relationship between productivity and innovation?In today’s episode, I look at productivity from a number of different angles. What does it mean in the world of macroeconomics? How does productivity impact our standard of living? On a day-to-day level, what does it mean for your type of industry and organization? Can productivity provide a competitive advantage?It doesn’t matter what type of organization you’re leading in, improving productivity will reap huge benefits for all your stakeholders… including the people who work for you. But, getting your head around why you should have a constant focus on productivity improvement can be a little tricky… hopefully this episode will help.Source Material: No Bullsh!t Leadership Episode:Ep.115: Does Innovation Create Value?Ep.203: Defending Against Disruptive InnovationMcKinsey Global Institute Article:Turning Around the Productivity SlowdownDiary of a CEO EpisodeEp.252: Ex-Google Officer Speaks Out On the Dangers of AI————————FREE 5 DAY LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE: Want to boost your leadership capability?

Moment #25 // High-performance is fragile. Teams can lose their lustre for a whole range of reasons, and leading a team of high performers can be incredibly challenging.The best teams push each other pretty hard, and it can be difficult to maintain constructive tension, without it boiling over into acrimony.And, yes, sometimes your people just stop listening to you. Over time, familiarity breeds contempt, and the downside of consistency (a much sought-after leadership characteristic) is predictability.You can take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Ep.99: Don't Play One Season Too Many.————————FREE 5 DAY LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE:Want to boost your leadership capability?

Episode #254 // We’re approached all the time to interview other thought leaders on this podcast. However, since No Bullsh!t Leadership is predominantly a solo cast, we reluctantly decline 99% of these requests. But one email popped into our Inbox a few months ago, and we couldn’t resist it: Scott Jeffrey Miller is a speaker, author, and podcaster (sounds familiar, I know!) What’s different about Scott is that he’s worked for over 25 years with FranklinCovey, the legendary company started by Stephen Covey, which has not one, but three seminal works to draw upon:The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People The Speed of Trust, andThe 4 Disciplines of Execution (one of my favorites).Scott has worked with these original thought leaders for decades, and as host of FranklinCovey’s On Leadership podcast, he’s had access to some of the best-known and highest-profile leaders on the planet. In today’s interview, I drill into Scott’s deep learning, asking him what it’s like to interview the biggest names in business; his experience of writing best-selling books; and what’s in store for the future of leadership.Check out Scott's new book here!Connect with Scott on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottjeffreymiller/————————FREE 5 DAY LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE: Want to boost your leadership capability?

Moment #24 // As a leader, how do you set appropriate boundaries in your work relationships? How do you strike the balance between establishing trust-based, caring relationships with your people, and maintaining professional distance? The social pendulum has really swung in the last 3-5 years. Organizations are increasingly seeking to impose themselves in the personal decisions of their people. As a leader, you need to be hyper-vigilant about how these shifting dynamics can potentially affect your career. Your role is to set the tone, the pace and the standard for your people, and being in a workplace relationship makes that so much more difficult.You can take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Ep.14: Friendly, Not Friends.————————FREE 5 DAY LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE: Want to boost your leadership capability?

Episode #253 // In life, there tend to be two kinds of people: there are lifters and there are leaners. Lifters carry the burden for themselves and others… they take on more accountability than the average person, and they don’t rely on anyone else to make things happen. And leaners are happy to let them do so! In this episode, which I hope you find to be pretty straightforward and easy to absorb, my goal is to do just one thing: to explain the differences between lifters and leaners, and help you to clarify which one you are, right now.As a leader, you want the personal brand of being a lifter, not a leaner. Once you know the difference, the rest is up to you. Like everything in life, you get to choose your path, and make it happen… or not! I’ve also created a free PDF downloadable so that you can undertake a self-assessment which you can download here: Are you a lifter, or a leaner?Source Material: No Bullsh!t Leadership Episode:Ep.110: Getting In the ArenaMark Manson Article: The Most Important Question of Your Life————————FREE 5 DAY LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE: Want to boost your leadership capability?

Moment #23 // You don't want your business to suffer the impact of poor decisions that are driven by fear. If you can sense, and then short-circuit your physiological reactions as they arise, you’ll be in a better position to implement some coping strategies, rather than just letting nature take its course.If you learn to control your physical state, it opens up the pathways for your conscious mind to handle things. Once your response is in the conscious, you can ask yourself a series of questions that will help you to manage your fear by bringing greater perspective to the problem. Staying calm and rational is a prerequisite to making great decisions.

Episode #252 // Chris Licht, the former CEO of CNN, resigned recently after a scathing exposé in The Atlantic. What was supposed to be an opportunity to provide a firsthand account of a miraculous company turnaround, ended up in embarrassment, reputational damage, and the inevitable sacking.This isn’t the first time someone has invited the media to make a contemporaneous record of a firm’s excellence, only to have it backfire spectacularly!In the 1970s, British Steel was the subject of a documentary film which, instead of showcasing its leading edge management performance and industrial dominance, as had been expected, uncovered an unhealthy culture that made any aspirations of commercial excellence impossible. What causes leaders to believe their own bullsh!t? Why would they open themselves up to public scrutiny if they didn’t genuinely believe in their abilities, and the almost inevitable success of their mission?In this episode, I look at these two case studies, and dig into the root causes of hubris.

Moment #22 // Some people really don't want to lead. But they don’t necessarily know that they don’t want to. So, why would they take on a leadership role if they have no desire to lead? And how do you identify a reluctant leader?The clue is in the expectations they place upon their team? Do they lead them to greater heights, or just accept whatever an individual chooses to do on any given day? Weak leaders lower the standard to meet the performance, strong leaders lift the performance to meet the standard.Whatever you do, it’s important to set an expectation that all leaders do the hard work of leadership in their teams… even the reluctant ones. You can take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Ep.164: Leadership Not For You?.————————FREE 5 DAY LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE: Want to boost your leadership capability?

Episode #251 // There are a range of competencies required to forge a successful career. On this podcast, of course, we focus predominantly on how to develop and improve your leadership capability to uplift your team’s performance.Leadership competency gives you leverage: it enables you to multiply and accelerate the results you can achieve through others. And the higher up you go, the more valuable this capability becomes. But there are a number of other vital ingredients that I speak about from time to time, that are crucial building blocks in your success ecosystem. In this episode, I take a more holistic look at what I consider to be indispensable workplace competencies: from business acumen and work ethic, to politics and influence.I also look at what the most ambitious, up-and-coming MBA students at one of the world’s top business schools perceive to be critical competencies for 21st century business… and I integrate all of this into a simple checklist of development areas so that you can work out what to focus on to produce sustainable performance.Source MaterialEconomist Article:What the World's Hottest MBA Courses Reveal About 21st Century BusinessNo Bullsh!t Leadership Episodes:Ep.138: It's Not What You KnowEp.5: Using Power WiselyEp.243: Credibility: The Hallmark of Great LeadersEp.168: Political Sabotage at Work————————FREE 5 DAY LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE: Want to boost your leadership capability?

Moment #21 // There are a few key things you need to do in order to maximize your promotability. How do you stamp yourself as a trusted advisor, rather than just a workhorse? Why should you strive to make yourself redundant, rather than indispensable? And why is it critical to focus on your leadership capability just as much as your business acumen?Your goal should be to position yourself as a trusted advisor, who thinks about the broader issues, while energizing your team to deliver extraordinary results. You can take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Ep.176: When You Don't Get the Job.————————FREE 5 DAY LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE: Want to boost your leadership capability?

Episode #250 // One of the most intractable issues affecting gender equity in the workplace is maternity leave. Companies and countries are trying to find ways to make it easier for women to have families, without significant disruption to their careers.  Our CEO, Emma Green recently became a mother. She’s just flown half way around the world, by herself with 9-month-old Florence to attend a Mastermind of elite business owners who’ve built huge companies, while balancing the demands of motherhood and family.As a leader, you will have to face the challenges of maternity leave at some point—if not for yourself, then certainly for others. And if you’re a current or future mother, you’ll be thinking quite a bit about balancing the needs of family, while still maintaining your performance as a leader, and without having to sacrifice promotions, pay rises, and career opportunities!  In this episode, we flip the script, as I interview Em about how the experience of balancing motherhood, and running a fast-growth business has been for her so far.Source Material: Harvard Business Review Article:Do Longer Maternity Leaves Hurt Women's CareersNo Bullsh!t Leadership Episode:Ep.183: Mentors, Coaches, and Trusted Advisors————————FREE 5 DAY LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE: Want to boost your leadership capability?

Moment #20 // In a hot job market, you can't retain every one of your people, which is why it’s important to think about who your star performers are, and to make sure they don’t go anywhere.

Moment #19 // To make any serious change requires a change of culture—the way we do things around here—and changing culture is not for the faint of heart. It takes discipline, perseverance, time, energy, some pain, a bunch of momentum, some tough decisions, courage, influence, collaboration - it’s not at all easy to change a culture.If you want to be a leader who drives change, who creates a high performance culture, then you’d better pay attention to your people, and you’d better burn the boats.You can take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Ep.35: Driving Value From Your People.————————FREE 5 DAY LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE: Want to boost your leadership capability?

Episode #248 // We still seem to be witnessing some pretty spectacular failures in corporate governance. Every week, the financial press manages to uncover some sort of personal scandal, a sudden and unexpected decline in performance, or a breach of a company’s social license to operate.Even more common now, is the reporting on companies’ handling of workforce issues, like layoffs, and return to the office policies.I came across an interesting interview with one of Australia’s leading company directors, Alison Watkins, which explored the evolving relationship between the CEO and the Board. Overall, it presented quite a positive outlook. In this episode, I look at how this critical relationship is evolving, and what we can expect from boards in coming years, as we see less and less tolerance for business transgressions.Source MaterialMcKinsey Interview:In the Boardroom With Alison Watkins(22nd November, 2022)Harvard Law School ResearchMandating Women on Boards: Evidence from the United StatesNo Bullsh!t Leadership Episode:Ep.54: Managing the Board————————FREE 5 DAY LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE: Want to boost your leadership capability?

Moment #18 // How do you know when the right time is to let a poor performer go? Many leaders sit back and just hope that the person will improve. But hope isn’t a strategy. And when you’re dealing with a historically poor performer, it's rarely the case that they lift to meet the minimum acceptable standard. The most commonly cited regret of great leaders, as they reflect on their careers, is that they didn't move quickly enough to remove the people who they knew couldn’t do the job.If you’re serious about performance, you need to free up your non-performers so that they can be successful in another organization–preferably, one of your competitor’s!You can take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Ep.34: When It's Time For Someone To Go.————————FREE 5 DAY LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE: Want to boost your leadership capability?

Episode #247 // Virtually every organization has some form of operational delivery capability for its products and services. More often than not, your ability to compete in the market can be strengthened through operational excellence.But operational excellence is elusive, and many of the programs that companies invest in to deliver improved operational performance only ever realize a fraction of the potential benefits. Senior leaders often focus purely on the technical and process elements of operational performance. But the barriers that will confront you in process and technology are dwarfed by the organizational barriers that exist in your people and culture.  If you want to achieve operational excellence, your will, commitment, and appetite for doing the hard yards will be pushed to its limits. In this episode, I explore the very nature of operational excellence. I give a couple of meaty, real-world examples of operational excellence initiatives that I’ve led in the past. And I leave you with a free simple, 13-step checklist to achieving operational excellence, which is available as a free downloadable PDF resource!————————FREE 5 DAY LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE: Want to boost your leadership capability?

Moment #17 // Low accountability cultures are riddled with barriers to performance. The leaders resign themselves to the fact that gaps and overlaps are inevitable, and they rationalize that strong single point accountabilities aren’t really necessary.What are the 5 hidden drivers of low accountability? And how do you find them before they damage your team’s performance? Everyone deserves to be treated equally, but they also have to be held to account for the way they behave and perform… otherwise your best people will be dragged down to the lowest common denominator. And performance doesn’t live in that type of culture.You can take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Ep.19: Execution For Results.————————FREE 5 DAY LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE: Want to boost your leadership capability?

Episode #246 // One of the most widespread and seemingly intractable problems facing leaders and organizations everywhere, is the drive to focus only on short-term results. And this condition doesn’t discriminate between industries, countries, or cultures. Almost everything that happens in our work lives locks us inside the prison walls of an ever-present, high-demand, short-term focus. Very few leaders develop the type of long-term perspective that enables genuine attention to where a company will be in 5 years, 10 years, and beyond.Even though I’ve trained myself over the years to take a longer-term view of the world, instinctively I’m the same as everyone else. It’s hard to break free from the pressing issues of today, when the need for immediate action is obvious, and the consequences of tomorrow feel so far away. This episode explores why almost everything in our work environment constrains us to a short-term focus. I give some concrete, real-life examples of how short-term focus manifests itself… and, of course, I leave you with a few practical tips to help you to lengthen the time horizon you look towards, in any situation.Source Material: AFR ArticleRevealed: Australia's 50 Highest Paid CEOs in 2022AFR ArticleHow Much CEOs Are Really Paid Professor David Yoffie ProfileYoffie’s HBR Profile————————FREE 5 DAY LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE: Want to boost your leadership capability?

Episode #245 // I’m a vocal advocate of strong leadership: the need to stretch people to achieve extraordinary performance, with a single-minded focus on value creation (bearing in mind, of course, that value comes in many different forms: it’s not just financial results).Recently, we’ve seen two cases from opposite sides of the world in which the stated drive for improved performance has resulted in serious allegations of bullying.The first, is Dominic Raab, the UK’s Deputy PM, who was forced to resign after allegations of bullying were raised by some of his public sector departmental staff, and the second is an unfair dismissal lawsuit brought by a former employee of Myer, Australia's largest department store chain. Each of these relies on interpretation of the events on which the allegations are founded. And even though it can often be a case of “he said / she said”, in both these instances there’s no shortage of witnesses. But did these cases genuinely involve bullying, or were they simply examples of strong leaders managing people who weren’t doing their jobs to the required standard? I begin today’s episode with a little revision on what strong leadership really is, and then I unpack these two specific cases to examine the fine lines that sometimes exist between performance drive and bullying.Source Material Referenced: No Bullsh!t Leadership Podcast Episode Ep.182: What Is Strong Leadership?The Economist - Bartleby If Enough People Think You’re a Bad Boss, Then You AreThe Australian Financial Review Myer in court over alleged executive bullying————————FREE 5 DAY LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE: Want to boost your leadership capability?

Moment #15 // The primary function of a leader is to create and maintain a culture that’s conducive to performance excellence… a culture where every individual is committed to giving their best every day. More often than not, cultures just grow organically, as people learn over time what the expectations and limits of the leader truly are. If you don’t focus, deliberately and explicitly, on creating the type of culture that drives genuine performance, then the culture you get will be… whatever it’ll be!You can take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Ep.27: Unleashing the Power Of Your People.————————FREE 5 DAY LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE: Want to boost your leadership capability?

Episode #244 // One of the toughest elements of leadership is managing your people’s performance. Everyone has to meet a minimum acceptable standard, of course… but beyond that, you also want to be able to lead your best people to perform at their peak.We get an endless stream of questions about the performance management ecosystem, particularly when a team member slips into chronic underperformance. There’s no doubt that every situation is different, but there are some common themes running through all of this. In today’s Q&A episode, Em guides me through a bunch of questions that explore the main aspects of the performance management cycle, including how to lead before formal performance management becomes necessary, what to do once you’re in there, and how to respond if you work in a culture that doesn’t support individual differentiation and high performance.If you don’t know where to start when it comes to making notes on your people’s performance, you won't want to miss out on the free Performance Notes Template that Em has made for this episode. This customizable GoogleSheets template (with some fictional examples on it to get you started) is the perfect tool to help you track and analyze your DR’s performance over time, which makes the performance management process MUCH easier when the time comes. It’s simple, but it’s what we use here at YCM to keep things on track.Download the free Performance Notes Template here.There’s also a number of important, related episodes that I mention in the Q&A.

Moment #14 // On one level, politics can be seen simply as a process of influencing. But more often, it’s a devious, divisive tool used by unscrupulous individuals to further their own standing—it creates a toxic and cancerous culture. How do you spot a political animal? Office politics can be incredibly destructive, but there's no organization that's completely immune to it.
