No Bullsh!t Leadership
Bouncing Back From Major Failures: Not all mistakes are equal
Episode 301 // A lot has been written and said over the years about the necessary role that failure plays in our quest for success. Anyone who has ever been successful, first had to endure (and bounce back from) failure!
It’s easy to reduce this process to a few pithy sayings:
- “Those who dare to fail miserably can achieve greatly!” (John F Kennedy)
- “Failure is another stepping stone to greatness” (Oprah Winfrey)
- “The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” (Ralph Waldo Emerson)
These are all true… and, let’s face it, I’m a big fan of a good mantra to help me keep my head in the right space.
Then again, there are failures, and there are… failures! Making the little daily mistakes, learning from them, and correcting them is a part and parcel of your growth and development, in any walk of life.
If you’re a regular No Bullsh!t Leadership listener, you’ve probably already got a pretty good handle on this process.
But there are two situations where this doesn’t necessarily hold true:
- When you keep making the same mistake repeatedly; or
- When the failure is so big that it has a deeper effect on your psyche
Both scenarios can cause you to lose a tremendous amount of confidence, so working out how to come back from these failures is much harder… and much more important!

How To Wildly Exceed Your People’s Expectations: The psychological contract
19:53||Season 1, Ep. 347Episode #347 // Keeping people happy…it seems to be a constant focus for leaders at all levels, and it spawns all sorts of cultural ills. But the worst part is that, for all the time, money and energy that goes into trying to crack that nut, most leaders miss the mark… to be honest, the vast majority of leaders aren’t even aiming at the right target. You could work tirelessly, every day for the rest of your career, to try to exceed your people’s expectations… and not even move the needle.

Leading a Unionised Workforce: The truths that no one wants to admit
21:07||Season 1, Ep. 346Episode #346 // Leading a team in a unionised business is different. It’s hard enough to lead when you have direct line of sight to your people, but when there’s a third party running interference between you, it can be super tricky. I had the opportunity to work for a number of industrial businesses that had a heavy union influence, and I learned an incredible amount about leadership because of the inherent degree of difficulty. My goal in this episode is not to demonise or disparage the unions. But, no matter what anyone tells you, it is way harder to lead for performance in a unionised business. Then again, no matter what anyone tells you, it is possible to lead your team to make positive change in a unionised business. After all, the vast majority of people come into work each day wanting to do a good job and make a difference. So don’t let the adversarial nature of your relationship with the unions taint your optimism, or dampen your enthusiasm.I cover a lot of ground in this episode, culminating in my 8 top tips for leading a unionized business to drive positive change and improved performance.————————🔥 1,800+ Leaders Are Already Inside… Why Aren’t You? 🔥Get the unfair advantage with the No Bullsh!t Leadership Hub on Skool - 100% FREE.🚀 Join a powerhouse community of driven leaders who cut through the noise and lead with impact. 📢 Access exclusive resources, unfiltered discussions, and weekly challenges to sharpen your leadership game.💡 Connect, learn, and level up - without the BS.Join for free now! 🔥————————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.Moment #116: Leadership Power Is Dangerous
