No Bullsh!t Leadership

Episode #167 // We receive a lot of questions about resilience, and we’ve produced several episodes over the last three years that offer some guidance for how to cope when things are tough.While still on the resilience theme, the focus of today’s episode is slightly different, as we explore what happens when teams become addicted to crisis. Well-run teams and businesses don’t wait for a crisis to occur, and then spring into action. Quite the opposite: they mitigate risks proactively, and avoid the types of scenarios that many other companies fall prey to.It’s important to get on the front foot, and preemptively deal with the risks that could otherwise plunge your team into crisis, so I give you my five hot tips for getting ahead of the next crisis (available as a free PDF downloadable at www.yourceomentor.com/episode167).👉 Doors are open for Leadership Beyond the Theory.

Episode #166 // Debate is raging about the merits of remote work versus on-site colocation, exposing some real issues for leaders. One of the lighter discussions is on whether people should be allowed to turn their cameras off during Zoom meetings. This has generated some interesting debate in the wake of a research study published recently in the Journal of Applied Psychology.I released an episode a couple of months ago that deals with a few of these types of issues — Ep.154 Return to Work Rules — in which I developed a framework to guide you through the decision-making process. In this episode, I go a little deeper into some of the ways these issues can affect you and your people.I address the Zoom question, in typical “No Bullsh!t” fashion; I give a comprehensive example of what can happen when you let your people take on an air of entitlement; and I give you some rules of thumb for delivering the best outcome for your organization, while still maintaining critical relationships with your people.👉 Doors are open for Leadership Beyond the Theory.

Episode #165 // A few months ago I was fortunate enough to be interviewed on Jacob Morgan’s podcast ‘The Future of Work’. We had such a cracking conversation that I wanted to get him on our podcast, so that he can share his wisdom with you! Jacob is a 4 x best-selling author, speaker and futurist. I devoured his book, ‘The Future Leader’ in 48 hours, and this conversation covers all my post-read questions. Over 45 minutes Jacob and I cover: How he was able to interview 140 CEOs and 14,000 employees for his book, and what he learned from the study What Jacob thinks the future of leadership looks like (we even talk AI and the impact of technology)Jacob’s ‘Job, Purpose, Impact and Meaning’ model The key mindsets of a leader (some of my favourites - The Chef and The Technology Teenager) Why he works hard to become a chess master, and what that has to do with leadershipThis was such an interesting conversation, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Connect with Jacob below: Website: https://thefutureorganization.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jacobmorgan8/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacobmorgan8/ His book: https://www.amazon.com/2025-Leader-Jacob-Morgan/dp/1119518377/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= His podcast: https://thefutureorganization.com/martin-moore-of-no-bullsht-leadership-shares-how-to-be-an-exceptional-leader/ 👉 Doors are open for Leadership Beyond the Theory.

Episode #164 // We have two types of people who follow the No Bullsh!t Leadership podcast. The first, are leaders who love leadership and want to get better. The second, are people who are unwilling conscripts, as I call them. They don't enjoy leadership and they're looking for some short-cuts that might alleviate the inherent misery they feel in having to lead others. Even if you're in the category of leaders who love leadership, I can guarantee that you have people working for you in leadership positions, who are in the other category. At this very moment, those people are likely wishing that they didn't have any leadership accountabilities at all!This episode is dedicated to helping any of you who aren't enjoying leadership to work out what you can do. If you're already a committed leader, it will help you to identify and deal more effectively with the leaders below you who aren't interested in leading.👉 Doors are open for Leadership Beyond the Theory.

Episode #159 // With a hot labor market emerging in many countries at present, the threat of your people being headhunted by a competitor is increasing. What steps can you take to keep your people committed to your organization? Who should you be trying to retain, and why (because it’s NOT everyone!)?Even when other companies are able to pay more for the same skills, there are things you can do to ensure you don’t lose your best people. But you may need to make some tough decisions pretty quickly, rather than waiting for the situation to deteriorate to the point where you’re forced to react.  In this episode, I offer some ideas for identifying your key people and locking them in (even when you don’t have a lot of money to throw at them), and I reveal a method for looking at the bigger picture, so that you see the pay disparity issue in the context of the broader performance of the business!👉 Doors are open for Leadership Beyond the Theory.

Episode #158 // Blaming others when something doesn’t go to plan is one of the most insidious (and unfortunately, most common) leadership behaviors.Culturally, this is a cancer that has to be eradicated. When a leader tolerates the blame game as a part of the performance evaluation cycle, excuses become the norm, and organizational politics finds fertile ground. In this episode, I look at how the blame game plays out in politics and business, and I revisit an old podcast episode that’s playing out in the US courts at the moment. I also offer some rules of thumb to ensure that you don’t fall into the trap of either blaming others, or allowing your people to shirk their accountability when they don’t deliver on their commitments. 👉 Doors are open for Leadership Beyond the Theory.
