No Bullsh!t Leadership

Being promoted to a new leadership level is a difficult transition to make. But it’s even tougher when you’re promoted to lead the team you used to be part of.

The biggest trap is that you might take the culture, the capability, and the performance of that team for granted.

This Moment gives you some ways to combat your status quo thinking, and set the scene for meaningful performance improvement.

If you want to take a deeper dive into how you can change the paradigm when you have to lead your old team mates, have a listen to Ep.269: Performing After Promotion.

Every time you fill a vacancy, you have to make a choice: do you promote someone from within, who you may know quite well, or take a punt on someone you don’t?

Over my corporate career, I made both calls frequently. Sometimes, I got to pat myself on the back for how brilliant I was, but occasionally the resulting hire was so disastrous that I looked like a complete muppet in front of my team (and my boss)!

Most leaders have no real way of determining who might be ready for promotion… it’s all guesswork and gut feel. They rely on factors like a confident interview performance, a firm handshake, or a sharp dress sense… and then they’re completely mystified when it doesn't work out.

In this episode, I show you how to tell the difference between someone who's performing well now, and someone who’s ready for more; and I give you a checklist to work out which leaders might be able to function at the next level up, and which leaders never will.

There are three costs of leadership that nobody tells you about when you get promoted; and they are a given.

You can no more change them than you can avoid the pull of gravity.

The best leaders accept these truths. They do the work to become comfortable in navigating them each day, knowing they are strong enough to pay that price.

If you want to take a deeper dive into the toll that great leaders are prepared to pay, have a listen to Ep.385: Paying the Price of Leadership

When leaders are unhappy at work, they often blame the company. But more often it’s a sign of dissatisfaction with their own inability to work within the constraints of the job.

No job is perfect. Every role comes with constraints: things that stop you from operating at your best.

Whether it’s a bad boss, a lack of resources, or unrealistic expectations, the question isn't whether your job has constraints: it's whether or not you can live with them.

If you don’t proactively manage the constraints then, over time, you might not like who you have to become to function in your role.

In this episode, I reveal the difference between genuine constraints and the artificial constraints; I explore the symptoms of unhappiness at work; and I give you three critical mindset shifts that will pull your focus off the daily grind and onto the long game, and get back to peak performance.

Speed can be a performance multiplier, if you can build it into your culture.

But there are going to be times when you need to back off… and part of being a great leader is recognising those times.

If you want to take a deeper dive into when you should slow down, have a listen to Ep.294: Is Faster Always Better?
