No Bullsh!t Leadership

Avoid costly hiring mistakes! Use these 5 interview questions to expose bullsh!t and find real talent. We spend a lot of time thinking about how to attract and retain the best people.But we all know how fickle the hiring process can be… recruiting talent is an imprecise science, which is why you have to get really good at interviewing.This is where you get the opportunity to meet your potential employees face to face. The interview is your best opportunity to separate the most talented candidates from the ones who just talk a good game.In this episode, I give you an interview technique that’s guaranteed to identify the people who have actually done what they say they’ve done, and expose those who are just full of sh!t.Links mentioned in this episode:The Economist article:What Questions Would You Ask a Candidate in a Job Interview?No Bullsh!t Leadership episode:Ep.343: 6 Proven Tactics for Hiring Top TalentLBT link:Leadership Beyond the TheoryWikipedia links:Brian KellyLSU FootballCompetency-Based Recruitment————————FREE QUIZ: I’ve developed a 3-question quiz that’ll give you a free personalised 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. 

When nothing feels black and white, these principles keep your leadership unshakable! A lot of the principles I espouse in No Bullsh!t Leadership are quite categorical… in order to convey the principles clearly and concisely, I explain them in a rather singular manner: “Do this! Don’t do that!” But nothing is that black and white, and the complexity and uncertainty of the environment can erode your confidence and weaken your resolve.If you want to have a deeper dive into how to be confident in the face of extreme uncertainty, have a listen to Ep.273: It's Never Black and White.————————FREE QUIZ: I’ve developed a 3-question quiz that’ll give you a free personalised 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/————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally. 

How to spot (and stop) the koalas sabotaging your culture: nepotists, jerks, and ass-kissers. In Australia, koalas are a protected species. When one of the leaders in our No Bullsh!t Leaders Club started talking about the “koalas” in his company, I knew exactly what he meant.Working with koalas can be infuriating. They don’t play by the same rules, or observe the same cultural standards as everyone else. It’s almost as if they’re trying to see how far they can go before someone brings them into line.And the more they get away with, the more emboldened they become.In this episode, I explore three different breeds of koala:The founder’s nephewThe talented jerkThe ass-kisserI give you some vital tips to deal with each breed, whether they work in your team, or they’re just an annoying peer you have to live with.Links mentioned in this episode:No Bullsh!t Leadership episodes: Ep.240: The Talented Jerk Ep.314: Surviving Office PoliticsHigh-Performance Leadership Program link: Leadership Beyond the Theory————————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/————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally.
