Moment #64: Does Your CEO Have the Stomach for Change?

No Bullsh!t Leadership ·

2024/04/14

Moment #64 // Many CEOs and senior executives talk a good game when it comes to culture change and transformation… it’s almost expected. But, even though they might make the right noises, it doesn’t necessarily mean they have the commitment to set a higher standard, or generate the level of momentum it would take to lead the change successfully.Pretty much every senior leader says they want a constructive, high performance culture. But very few can clearly articulate what this means… and even fewer

2024/04/07

Moment #63 // Times are tough and, when the pressure is on, it doesn’t take long before companies start to squeeze their suppliers in an attempt to find cost savings.Unfortunately, your suppliers are facing exactly the same pressures you are. Their costs are rising too, and they’re experiencing the same difficulty in finding and keeping their best people.Knowing how to manage your suppliers for optimum long-term benefit is critical, especially as you seek to outsource more and more of the company’s

Crafting Your Leadership Identity: Q&A with Marty and Em

2024/04/02

Episode #292 // “In team sports, “leading from the front” means a completely different thing than it does in business.”There are a number of elements that contribute to your leadership identity. Many leaders let their identity form organically, without much conscious thought or planning. That’s fine, but there’s an enormous amount of upside to be captured, if you choose to be deliberate and methodical in your approach.For every leader, regardless of level, industry, company size, or location, there

Moment #62: Who's Running the Show? CEO or Board?

2024/03/31

Moment #62 // The board of directors is increasingly seen as the accountable body for ensuring ethical, responsible behavior from companies. But we still seem to be witnessing some pretty spectacular failures in corporate governance.To me, this isn’t at all surprising. The board has very little influence over what the management team does on a day-to-day basis.Boards have limited control over what really goes on. I’m sure that many professional directors will disagree with me on this… but that would

Episode #291 // “The boundaries between our work and personal lives have shifted, and leaders need to deal with the fallout.” When I began my corporate executive career, the only concern leaders had for safety was to ensure that people working in dangerous environments didn’t get seriously injured or killed.Then, there were a lot of businesses that didn’t even need to think about the word “safety”, because they were predominantly white-collar, office-bound enterprises.For most of my senior

Episode #61 // What if your people knew exactly what to expect from you? What if they understood your style, the objectives that drive you, and the things you value the most?If you want your people to be really clear on what you’re after, developing your own Leadership User Manual can be a simple but effective way to lay out the ground rules, and establish your expectations in an unambiguous way.This could save years of trial and error, and give your people a clear path to thriving under your

My Recent Epic Fail: Controlling the controllables

2024/03/05

Episode #288 // “After almost 62 years on this planet, you'd think I'd know better – and I kind of do – but it doesn't mean I always get it right.”We all know what to do, for the most part. Each day when we wake up, we can either choose to do it, or not do it. If we choose to not do it, then our brains quickly come to the rescue to tell us why that’s the best decision under the circumstances — this is rationalization, and we all master it at a pretty young age.But, no matter how hard we try to

Moment #58: Putting Your People First

No Bullsh!t Leadership ·

2024/03/03

Moment #58 // Conventional wisdom tells us that we have to put people before profits… that if we look after our people then, in turn, they will look after our customers, and the business will thrive.But the problem with conventional wisdom is that, even though there’s always at least some grain of truth to it, it’s easy to oversimplify, to rationalize, and to misinterpret.The people before profits mantra is one of the great oversimplifications of leadership. If we did put our people first, does that

Episode #287 // “It's way easier just to roll your sleeves up and fix something, than it is to put in the hard work of leadership to lift someone else's capability.”As a leader, you face daily pressures which are quite different from the pressures that confronted you when you were a carefree individual contributor, responsible only for your own work.The type of pressure, and its intensity, depends on a number of things: the sector you’re operating in; the organizational culture; the competence and

Moment #57 // Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution is often summarized as: the survival of the fittest. But, in fact, Darwin’s conclusion was that those who survive aren’t necessarily the fittest – they are the most adaptable. As a leader, one of your most valuable characteristics is your capacity for change.Change is constant. But many of us don’t cope with it particularly well. We often struggle to understand the change that we’re asked to adapt to in our work lives… and what we don’t understand,

The Accidental Leader: It’s the most common variety

2024/02/20

Episode #286 // “While one in four people in the workforce have managerial responsibilities, very few have actually been trained. 82% of leaders are accidental.”Many people in leadership positions were promoted because they were good at their jobs — their technical jobs. When ambitious professionals want the status, the power, and the money that come with career advancement, they have to accept that leading other people comes with the territory.With little leadership training, and even less desire

Moment #56: Making the Most of the Feedback You're Given

2024/02/18

Moment #56 // We talk a lot as leaders about how to give feedback, and it takes many years of experience to actually get good at it. What we don’t talk about nearly as much is what to do when we’re on the other side of the table!Receiving good quality, helpful, accurate feedback is essential if you want to reach your performance potential. If this is true, then why are we so averse to receiving feedback?Learning how to receive and implement feedback is a critical skill for leaders who want to be

Episode #285 // “If you make decisions in isolation, you're likely to miss the implications of those decisions on the whole ecosystem, and this is often where the cracks begin to appear.”Like many of you, I’ve done quite a bit of flying over the course of my adult life. I’m not a nervous flyer at all, but I’m always interested to see what’s happening in the world of commercial aviation.This bumper episode is a mini case study on Boeing, which has been in the news again recently – for all the wrong

Moment #55: Do You Want To Be Right? Or Successful?

No Bullsh!t Leadership ·

2024/02/11

Moment #55 // Being right isn’t everything – it’s just a good start.Many leaders like to position themselves as “the smartest person in the room”. And there’s a lot to be said for superior intelligence. But you have to know how to use your intellect to get the best possible outcomes from your people.To excel as a leader, you have to go way beyond your pure intellectual horsepower, and enter the nebulous world of emotional intelligence and human connection!You can take a deeper dive into these

Giving Your Boss Feedback: How honest should you be?

No Bullsh!t Leadership ·

2024/02/06

Episode #284 // “There are very few bosses who will say “no” when asked if they’d like feedback. But even though they might say “yes”, you have to read the play – do they really want to hear it?”I spend a lot of time and energy helping leaders to build their capability in giving feedback to their people: how to engage them in difficult conversations; how to review their performance; how to know when it’s time to say goodbye to someone who isn’t performing.Let’s face it, if you want to be even mildly

Moment #54: Great Leaders Are Great Negotiators

2024/02/04

Moment #54 // We all think we know how to negotiate. After all, our negotiating skills are honed from birth, as we tussle with our parents to try to convince them to do what we want them to.Despite this, I learned a number of years ago that my negotiation skills were not what I thought they were. I was humbled in a fairly straightforward mock negotiation at business school. But what I learned in the following weeks equipped me to go on to negotiate and win several large contracts, worth billions of

Episode #283 // “If your people trust and respect you, there's nothing you can't say to them.”When we talk about trust in the context of leadership, it’s normally about how to get your people to trust you! And, of course, this should be a critical focus for leaders at every level.But today’s topic runs a little deeper: how much trust should you give to the managers who work for you?”Regardless of your org structure or the size of your team, at least some of your direct reports are bound to tell you

What is pretty clear, though, is that more and more leaders are reporting that they are burnt out.But, if you apply a couple of relatively simple and practical remedies, you will be able to protect yourself from burnout.
