Moment #91 // You’ve no doubt heard the expression, Employee Engagement. It’s roughly equivalent to the age-old concept of job satisfaction, or JSAT. The big question is, does increased employee engagement improve performance?It sounds like it should be true – as long as you believe that happy workers are productive workers. Unfortunately, I don’t! Most often, happy workers are just… happy!If you want to find out more about the reality of leading employees to be happy, and to perform at their peak, have a listen to Ep.199: Employee Engagement————————FREE QUIZ: I’ve developed a 3-question quiz that’ll give you a free personalized podcast playlist tailored to where you are right now in your leadership career!Click here to take the 30-second quiz now to get your on-the-go playlist————————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————————

Episode #320 // Was Lucy Letby wrongly convicted in her healthcare murder trial? We may never know… but what we do know is that her trial was plagued by serious flaws in the statistical evidence presented by the prosecution.I find it just a little disturbing that the judge, lawyers, and jury were so innumerate, that they accepted the bogus statistics on face value.This lack of numeracy is probably just as endemic in business! But everyone talks a good game, and it’s often difficult to see the glaring holes that lie just below the surface.During my corporate career, I worked with a bunch of board directors, career politicians, and senior executives who exhibited a stunning lack of basic numeracy.In today's episode, I review the cautionary tale of the Lucy Letby trial; I take a look at how to build a robust process for decision-making; and I finish with eight ways to overcome the scourge of data illiteracy.Trigger Warning: Sensitive ContentThis episode includes a discussion about the trial of Lucy Letby, which touches on distressing topics such as infant deaths and the handling of evidence in serious criminal cases. These subjects may be particularly difficult for listeners who have been affected by the loss of a child or cases involving medical or legal malpractice. Please proceed with caution and take care while listening.

Moment #90 // There’s a lot of talk these days about purpose… we’re indoctrinated with the notion that, if you don’t pursue your purpose, what you choose to do has no meaning or value.I’m calling bullsh!t…I didn’t find my true purpose until I was in my mid-50s – but in the years prior to that, I loved my life, and made a hell of an impact.If you want to find out more about the reality of pursuing your purpose, have a listen to Ep.201: Finding Your Purpose————————FREE QUIZ: I’ve developed a 3-question quiz that’ll give you a free personalized podcast playlist tailored to where you are right now in your leadership career!Click here to take the 30-second quiz now to get your on-the-go playlist————————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 #319 // We are constantly inundated with media reports, LinkedIn blogs, and conversations around the water cooler about the amount of stress we face in today’s work environment. What’s changed since I was a young leader at the dawn of my career?The ability to disseminate information has far outstripped our ability to absorb it and make sense of it;We are “on” for a much greater percentage of our day than we ever have been; andAt the same time, we’re dealing with major social and economic shifts, which make it even more difficult to know our boundaries, reducing our level of comfort, security, and confidence.In this episode, I look specifically at how to lead your people through the never-ending waves of transformational change, so that you can keep them focused, and keep yourself sane!————————FREE QUIZ: I’ve developed a 3-question quiz that’ll give you a free personalized podcast playlist tailored to where you are right now in your leadership career!Click here to take the 30-second quiz now to get your on-the-go playlist————————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 #89 // You can tell the character of a leader by watching what they do under pressure. Some choose to do what’s in the best interests of their team and their company. Others just let gravity take over, and head down the slippery slope of self-interest.If you want to be a strong leader – a person of character – you need to work out how to overcome your self-interest.I stumbled across an awesome hack many years ago that was pivotal for me in learning to put my own self-interest aside. In this Moment, I share that technique with you. If you want to explore ways to tame your most fundamental behavioral driver, have a listen to Ep.125: Can You Coach Character?————————FREE QUIZ: I’ve developed a 3-question quiz that’ll give you a free personalized podcast playlist tailored to where you are right now in your leadership career!Click here to take the 30-second quiz now to get your on-the-go playlist————————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 #318 // Peter Drucker, one of the founding fathers of modern management theory said, “There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.” This highlights just how much of what our people do, doesn’t add any real value to the company’s performance. You’ve no doubt heard me talk about value in the past — it’s the centerpiece of the No Bullsh!t Leadership framework, and it should be front of mind for every leader, every single day. But this is a lot harder in practice than it might seem… and it starts way back at the strategic planning process. Illogical leaps between planning steps, emotional attachment to the status quo, and misaligned incentives are a recipe for value destruction – and virtually every organization on the planet suffers from these ailments to some degree.In this episode, I give you 5 surefire ways to get control back, and make sure your people don’t spin their wheels by working on things that ultimately don’t deliver value.————————WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT STRATEGY FROM MARTY?Our new course, Strategy Beyond the Theory, will be going live early 2025.Join the waitlist to be the first to get access! ————————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.
