No Bullsh!t Leadership

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. This necessitates a very deliberate approach to talent management and retention.Looking at individual performance first, identifying any critical roles, and understanding which core functions truly enable your business to compete, will enable you to target the people you really need to retain.You can take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Ep.159: Don't Lose Your Best People.————————FREE 5 DAY LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE: Want to boost your leadership capability?

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?
