No Bullsh!t Leadership

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. If you can find Grace Under Pressure, you’ll excel in the moments that matter most.You can take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Ep.139: Fighting Fear————————FREE 5 DAY LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE: Want to boost your leadership capability?

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. I also give my three tips for staying grounded (and staying out of the newspapers).Source MaterialUnHerd Article:How Britain Lost British SteelHBS Case StudyBritish Steel Corporation - the Korf ContractNo Bullsh!t Leadership Episodes:Ep.1: Respect Before PopularityEp.183: Mentors, Coaches, and Trusted AdvisorsEp.229: Confidence, Arrogance, and Self-Doubt————————FREE 5 DAY LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE: Want to boost your leadership capability?

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?
