Moment 144. The Real Cost of Overprotecting Your People
Protecting your people feels kind…until it destroys their resilience and results.As the older generation vacates the workforce, companies are making way for fresh talent, new ideas, and different ways of working.This brings with it a number of challenges, as we transition from a workforce that has historically been compliant and robust, to one that has an elevated sense of entitlement, and a worrying lack of resilience.How do you balance your duty of care for your people, with the obligation you have as a leader to optimise team performance?If you want to go deeper on how to take people where they don’t necessarily want to go, have a listen to Ep.328: Building Resilience Into the Fragile.————————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/————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally. 👉 Doors are open for Leadership Beyond the Theory.

Learn From the Lifers, Don’t Repeat Their Mistakes
Are your long-tenured employees blocking performance? Here’s how real leaders respond. Every organisation has them…long-standing employees (“lifers”) who have built their personal reputation and perceived value on a deep knowledge of the business.They’ve also built a power base using this knowledge that they’re reluctant to surrender… and they won't do that without a fight.If you're brought into an organisation with a mandate for change, then making that change is exactly what you have to do. Sometimes, though, the lifers aren't really inclined to help.We’ve produced a number of episodes over the years on change resistance, and it may be worth your while to go back and explore some of them.Just remember: The people who built the house can't renovate it;No Noise = No Change; andYou WILL have to shoot a hostage (metaphorically speaking)You can even explore how to read the play from your boss… When the CEO says he wants culture change, does he really mean it?!In this episode, I address specifically how to handle the lifers, whose driving instinct will be to resist any change, and bring down the leader who’s attempting to implement it!————————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/————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally. 👉 Doors are open for Leadership Beyond the Theory.

Moment 143. It’s Not Cruel to Expect Excellence
What if expecting more isn’t harsh, but the most caring thing a leader can do? If you want to produce outstanding results, there is no easy path… for you or your people. Are you the type of leader who sets people up to achieve difficult things? Or do they dictate the terms?If you don’t set an expectation of excellence, there are devastating implications for both team performance and individual job satisfaction.If you want to go deeper on how to take people where they don’t necessarily want to go, have a listen to Ep.245: Drive for Performance?

Has AI Already Made Consultants Redundant?
If AI can do a $440k job better than Deloitte, what does that mean for consultants?Of all the industries that are on the chalkboard for major disruption by AI, the consulting sector must be high up in the batting order.You’d think that, right now, consulting firms would be keener than ever to demonstrate their value, and extend their longevity: anything to prolong the mystique that surrounds what they do.Interesting, then, to read about the report that Deloitte submitted to an Australian federal government department, which had been largely generated by AI. And they charged the client $440,000 for the privilege!Is this public relations nightmare a distant early warning for the consulting industry? Is it the shape of things to come in an AI-driven world?————————🔍 Free Leadership Blindspot IdentifierSpend 5 minutes on our fast, focused quiz to uncover the leadership habits holding you back!

Moment 142. Are Behaviours REALLY that important?
I’ve heard leaders at all levels say something like, “Marty, I have a staff member who’s a high performer, but their behaviour is just awful!”If you relate to this, then in all likelihood you’re not actually dealing with a high performer: what you have, is a talented jerk!If that talented jerk is in a leadership role, you should err on the side of intolerance, rather than allowing their bad attitude to permeate through the team.If you want to go deeper on how to lead these difficult personalities, have a listen to Ep.240: The Talented Jerk.————————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. 👉 Doors are open for Leadership Beyond the Theory.
