No Bullsh!t Leadership

Episode #351 // I came across a great quote recently, thanks to one of the leaders in our inner circle, Natasha Read.  It was a quote from Maria Montessori, who devised the Montessori method of teaching.The method focuses on the development of a child's inherent initiative and ability, allowing them to develop at their own pace. It emphasises growth through independence and experimentation. The quote is a blinder… “Everything you do for me, you take from me!” It hit me like a pie in the face: I immediately thought of the principle of working at level, which is a critical part of the No Bullsh!t Leadership framework.There are lots of good reasons to not over function for the people you lead, and this might just be the most compelling of those reasons. When you do your people’s work, you’re not saving them…you’re stunting their growth. In this episode, I’m going to go into the working at level principles in the sort of depth that I normally reserve for our Leadership Beyond the Theory cohorts. I've also put together a great PDF resource to accompany this episode, 5 Rules for Leading Without Over-Functioning: A Leader’s Guide to Working at the Right Level which you can download here https://www.yourceomentor.com/episode351.

Episode #350 // Fewer, Better People. What a great mantra! The meaning is crystal clear and, what’s more, there’s absolutely zero fat on it - no corporate speak, no flowery adjectives!It’s one of those expressions that can apply to any business, in any industry, in any geography…it sounds blindingly obvious as soon as you hear it, doesn't it!?But that’s what makes it so incredibly powerful. It’s clear, and it’s obvious…and it’s incredibly difficult to achieve!In this episode, I deconstruct these three simple words, and explore why so few businesses can meet the standard of fewer, better people.————————🔥 2,000+ No Bullsh!t Leaders Are Inside… You In? 🔥Join our free Skool community for real leaders with no egos. 👥 High-calibre connections.🎧 Weekly Podcast Club prompts.📢 Unfiltered convos that shape the podcast content.You’re in the trenches, so are we.

Episode #349 // Psychological safety is a critical part of a high-performance culture. Unless people feel comfortable contributing their ideas and challenging the vocal majority, the team will easily slip into the complacency of groupthink. But psychological safety is often misunderstood, which is why we produced this mythbuster episode to debunk some of the commonly held misconceptions.I talk, from two different perspectives, about how the term ‘psychological safety’ has been misappropriated: first from my own experience, then from a recent article by Amy Edmondson, who pioneered the concept.Most importantly, I give you the one practical step you need to take to put your team culture on the road to psychological safety.————————🔥 2,000+ No Bullsh!t Leaders Are Inside… You In? 🔥Join our free Skool community for real leaders with no egos. 👥 High-calibre connections.🎧 Weekly Podcast Club prompts.📢 Unfiltered convos that shape the podcast content.You’re in the trenches, so are we.

Moment #119 // There’s been an increasing trend over the last several years for high profile leaders to come out in support of social issues.Many CEOs have crossed the line, using the company’s brand as a platform to demonstrate their personal virtue, or to support a cause that they believe in.Is it appropriate for leaders to use their professional platform to grandstand on social issues, even though they know it will disenfranchise a large number of their stakeholders?If you want to go deeper on the vexed question of handling controversial social issues, have a listen to Ep.305: Should Leaders Buy Into Social Issues.————————🔥 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.

Episode #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. One of the main reasons for this is that you may be blissfully unaware of the role that the the psychological contract plays in your people’s job satisfaction. Today, I want to put people’s unspoken expectations into context… to give you an understanding of the PC… and to give you some ideas for how where to start.————————🔥 1,900+ 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.
