Moment #48 // One of the things that characterizes a high-performing team is the ability to withstand and harness the value that lies in healthy disagreement.In this moment, I look at the example of a failed company that demanded their employees needed to be loyal, above all else. In my book, loyalty means fearlessly telling the truth to the people above you, no matter what. But to them, it meant bowing to their authority and not challenging them in any way… particularly if they had bad or inconvenient news to deliver.You can take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Ep.31: Don’t Shoot the Messenger and check out my TEDX Talk, The Surprising Power of Constructive Conflict! ————————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.

What were the things we focused on that didn’t actually pan out the way we expected? Which things went really well? We talk through our end-of-year stocktake, so you can see the level at which we assess the initiatives, how we think about our failures, and what lessons we take forward. It’s the best and the worst of Your CEO Mentor in 2023!

Moment #47 // There are literally thousands of articles and posts written every week about the attributes of great leaders. Humility, Transparency, Fallibility, Integrity. Although it’s fun and interesting to muse on these attributes, they lack any real clarity. If you actually decided that you wanted to take action to develop one of these attributes, where would you start? What habits and disciplines would you need to develop? Rather than debating the merits of leadership attributes, we need to focus more on leadership competencies. What do leaders need to competently do, in order to successfully deliver value for their teams and companies?You can take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Ep.25: The Roadmap to Exceptional Leadership.I also recommend listening to Ep.229: Confidence, Arrogance, and Self-Doubt.————————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 #46 // As you transition through to more senior leadership roles, you’ll realize that you can’t continue to compensate for your people when they don’t deliver the results you want.

Like, not focusing on your own job; like, diluting the accountability model; like, robbing your people of the chance to grow.

Episode #275 // One of the most common questions I field from our leadership community is, “Marty, how much time should I give someone when they’re not performing, before I make the decision to let them go?”Like most questions in business, the answer is, “It depends”. Your job, as a leader, is to work out what it depends upon, and to position yourself to make a decisive judgment call in any situation. In this episode, I take a look at the example of the Haas F1 Racing Team, and its principal, Guenther Steiner, who has led an underperforming team in a high-performance sport for almost 10 years.I also discuss some of the dimensions of performance and behavior that you’ll need to think about when you’re deciding what to do with an under-performer.But, most importantly, I give you one of the most valuable free resources I’ve ever produced: my six-step framework for making what are often incredibly difficult decisions about your people. It’s never an easy thing to decide to let someone go, but if you stick your head in the sand when you’re confronted with an under-performer, your team will inevitably become mediocre: your poor performers will stay, and anyone decent who wants to be on a winning team will find other alternatives!————————JOIN LANDING YOUR DREAM JOB: Our new short course framework gives you practical, achievable steps that will maximize your talent, experience, and professional potential!Click here to learn more and enrollIn the course we cover: Targeting the right opportunitiesMobilizing your network Preparing for the interview Asking the right questions Evaluating a role Negotiating your package————————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 #45 // With the sustained, relentless pressure of performing as a leader in today’s business world, combined with the expectation that you’ll also perform in every other area of your life, it’s incredibly easy to burn out.That’s why it’s so important to have long-term strategies that make your life sustainable: strategies that, even when you hit the peaks of pressure that ebb and flow, you know how to manage your way through it.You can take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Ep.187: Avoiding Burnout.————————JOIN LANDING YOUR DREAM JOB: Our new short course framework gives you practical, achievable steps that will maximize your talent, experience, and professional potential!Click here to learn more and enrollIn the course we cover: Targeting the right opportunitiesMobilizing your network Preparing for the interview Asking the right questions Evaluating a role Negotiating your package————————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.
