	How to Set KPIs That Drive the Right Behaviour: 6 Rules	27 Oct 2026	00:17:21
If you put a bounty on *dead* cobras, you may end up with more live cobras. And if you attach a big bonus to a KPI, you’ll get the same outcome in your business. If they’re not chosen carefully, KPIs can do more harm than good. Many KPIs are one-dimensional; they’re disconnected from the real value drivers; the targets get lowballed; and (when money’s involved), they’re susceptible to gaming. In this episode, I look at Goodhart’s Law: When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure. I take you through some cautionary tales, from snake breeders in British Colonial India, to phantom bank accounts at Wells Fargo, and the Qantas saga. And I give you six simple rules for setting KPIs that drive the results you actually want. ———————— Links mentioned in this episode: No Bullsh!t Leadership episode: No Specific Episodes Wikipedia link: Goodhart's Law Amazon link: No Bullsh!t Leadership LBT link: Leadership Beyond the Theory ———————— You can connect with me at: Website: https://www.yourceomentor.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentor Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentor Linkedin: 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.

	Maximising ROI From Your Top Talent \| Moment 196	25 Oct 2026	00:04:39
Imagine if one of your people was delivering more value than eight of their peers: leading them the same way you lead everyone else would be a complete waste. I’ve often said, “Your high performers don’t give you 10% more than the average employee… they give you 200% more.” But even that grossly underestimates the impact of the highest performers.

	What the Best CEOs Do Differently: 8 Lessons From 8 Years of CEO Mentoring	13 Oct 2026	00:22:56
You never know what to expect when mentoring CEOs. Some run the most boring businesses you could imagine, but they generate enormous value. Other companies may seem sexy on the outside, but struggle to make ends meet. One CEO watched his revenue fall off a cliff with the stroke of a bureaucrat’s pen. Today I’m sharing eight lessons from eight years of mentoring CEOs; and you don’t need to be in the CEO’s chair to use them! It’s everything from strategic clarity, to not getting distracted by shiny things, to backing your talent. ———————— If you're a CEO who would like to explore mentoring with Marty in 2027, reach out at hello@yourceomentor.com ———————— Links mentioned in this episode: No Bullsh!t Leadership episode: Ep.183: Mentors, Coaches, and Trusted Advisors Amazon link: No Bullsh!t Leadership LBT link: Leadership Beyond the Theory ———————— You can connect with me at: Website: https://www.yourceomentor.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentor Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentor Linkedin: 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.

	How to Prioritise as a Leader: 7 Ways to Stop Doing Too Much	06 Oct 2026	00:22:56
The hardest thing I ever tried to do as an executive was to stop the sh!t that had already started: it gets a life of its own. On top of that, new work is being dreamt up all the time, further adding to your prioritisation nightmare. A recent article from The Economist argued that too many people are shockingly bad at prioritisation, and that the root cause isn't process; it's behaviour. I couldn't agree more. In this episode, I'll unpack what the research says, then give you seven practical ways to get on top of your prioritisation problems, starting with the one thing most leaders never get clear on: value.

	Why Transformations Fail: 5 Reasons, and 3 Ways to Cope When It's Done to You	29 Sep 2026	00:17:02
Most transformations don't transform all that much. They cost a lot of money, they suck a huge amount of the organisation's time and energy, and no one really checks to see if the benefits were ever delivered. If you're not on the executive team, the whole thing just happens to you. But in reality, you're not as powerless as you might think. In this episode, I dig into what transformation really is, why so few programs actually earn that label and, most importantly, why so many transformations fail. I unpack a recent cover story from Harvard Business Review on the false alignment trap, which provides a really useful starting point for the discussion; I then add five more common reasons for transformation disasters; and I finish with three practical ways to get a hand on the wheel when transformation is being done to you.

You may think that rolling up your sleeves and doing your team’s work is leading from the front. But it’s actually a bad habit that’s diluting your people’s capability.

	5 Reasons Why One-on-Ones Are Your Secret Weapon	22 Sep 2026	00:19:37
Airbnb CEO, Brian Chesky says he doesn't believe in one-on-ones. I couldn’t disagree more, so in this episode I show you why sometimes, even the best CEOs get this one wrong. Chesky says the 1:1 model is flawed. Not only does he not do them, but he asserted that almost no great CEO does either. To support his point, he quoted Nvidia CEO, Jensen Huang, backing a similar view. Here's the problem: I think it's wrong. Not a little bit wrong, but fundamentally wrong for the vast majority of leaders who aren't running a flat, product-driven tech company. I spent thirty years perfecting the one-on-one, and it's the single most powerful tool I ever had as a leader.

	Power Doesn't Corrupt: It Reveals \| Moment 190	13 Sep 2026	00:04:17

But there are others who, at every turn, leverage whatever power they have to further their own self-interest.

	How to Stay Calm Under Pressure: 6 Signs Your Team Knows	07 Sep 2026	00:14:47
You may think that you’re highly resilient, an expert at staying calm under pressure… but your team could be experiencing something completely different. They're the ones who see your lack of composure. If you panic, that leaks onto your team. And every minute they spend managing your mood is a minute they don't spend delivering results. This is the final instalment in our 7-part series, recut from a live workshop I ran called Stop Rescuing Your Underperformers. I've been looking at one leadership blind spot each day. There's a person on your team who isn't delivering, and the premise I'm exploring this week is that they're more likely to be a symptom of the problem, rather than the root cause of it. Underperformers are made. They're made by the things their leaders do, but can't see the impact of. Today is number seven: Resilience. Are you a Landmine Leader? A Teflon Leader? A Catatonic Leader? Your people know which one you are, and no amount of “game face” can cover it up.

	How to Make Decisions Faster: 6 Signs They're Waiting on You	06 Sep 2026	00:09:05
When you hesitate on an important decision, it’s rarely due to missing data or insufficient consultation. It's more likely because you're afraid of getting it wrong. And as long as you delay, your people have to wait. There may be a whole string of decisions below you that can’t be made until you make yours… and if your people have to wait too long, they may just stop chasing you. This is Day 6 of a 7-part series, recut from a live workshop I ran called Stop Rescuing Your Underperformers. I'm looking at one leadership blind spot each day. There's a person on your team who isn't delivering, and the premise I'm exploring this week is that they're more likely to be a symptom of the problem, rather than the root cause of it. Underperformers are made. They're made by the things their leaders do, but can't see the impact of. Today is number six: Make Great Decisions. For every decision sitting on your desk, there are likely 10 below you that can't be made until you make yours. Your delay becomes a roadblock to progress for your team. So before you decide your team is too slow, look at yourself first: are you decisive when it counts, or are you the reason everything below you grinds to a halt? ———————— GET YOUR SCORE ON ALL SEVEN LEADERSHIP BLINDSPOTS, HERE: https://score.leadershipbeyondthetheory.com/workshop ———————— The 7 Leadership Blind Spots, one a day: 1.

	How to Lead in Uncertainty: 6 Signs Your Team Is Frozen	05 Sep 2026	00:11:13
One of your critical jobs as a leader is to absorb the ambiguity that you’re facing, and turn that into certainty for your people. If you can’t do that, your team will freeze; and a frozen team just looks like an underperforming team. This is Day 5 of a 7-part series, recut from a live workshop I ran called Stop Rescuing Your Underperformers. I'm looking at one leadership blind spot each day. There's a person on your team who isn't delivering, and the premise I'm exploring this week is that they're more likely to be a symptom of the problem, rather than the root cause of it. Underperformers are made. They're made by the things their leaders do, but can't see the impact of. Today is number five, Master Ambiguity. At the top of any organisation, complexity, uncertainty, and ambiguity are high. But down on the front line, people need to know specifically what they need to do to be successful. They need to know what good looks like, in very concrete terms. Whatever uncertainty you're feeling is magnified at every layer below you. So before you label anyone as an underperformer, ask yourself one question: what have you actually done to give them clarity of objectives? ———————— GET YOUR SCORE ON ALL SEVEN LEADERSHIP BLINDSPOTS, HERE: https://score.leadershipbeyondthetheory.com/workshop ———————— The 7 Leadership Blind Spots, one a day: 1.

	How to Focus Your Team on Value: 6 Signs They're Just Busy	04 Sep 2026	00:13:43
When you reward long hours, instead of rewarding the results that make a difference, you're paying for effort instead of value. You can't hold someone accountable for delivery, when you've never told them what's worth delivering. This is Day 4 of a 7-part series, recut from a live workshop I ran called Stop Rescuing Your Underperformers. I'm looking at one leadership blindspot each day. There's a person on your team who isn't delivering, and the premise I'm exploring this week is that they're more likely to be a symptom of the problem, rather than the root cause of it. Underperformers are made. They're made by the things their leaders do, but can't necessarily see the impact of. Today is number four, deliver value. Peter Drucker said, “The greatest waste of organisational resources is doing efficiently the things you shouldn't be doing at all”; but many leaders still think that being busy somehow automatically translates into value. It doesn’t. Your underperformer may not be slow after all; they may just be working hard on the wrong things.

	How to Stop Avoiding Difficult Conversations: 6 Signs It's You	02 Sep 2026	00:16:53
When you have an underperformer on your team, but you haven’t given them specific performance feedback, you're reinforcing their underperformance. They may think that no news is good news, and they don’t need to do anything different. This is Day 2 of a 7-part series, recut from a live workshop I ran called Stop Rescuing Your Underperformers.

Today is the one that stops you fixing accountability: can you handle conflict, or is this your blind spot? This one’s tricky, because it hides behind noble virtues.

	How to Hold Your Team Accountable: 6 Signs Nobody Owns Anything	01 Sep 2026	00:13:37
Somewhere on your team right now there's a person who isn't delivering. You thought of their name before you got to the end of that sentence. Over the next seven days, I'm going to show you they're probably not your problem. They're a symptom of it. This is Day 1 of a seven part series, recut from a live workshop I ran called Stop Rescuing Your Underperformers. One leadership blind spot a day, for seven days. Today it's number one, and it's the big one. Accountability. I've taught this for almost a decade, and if you did nothing else at all, this is the one that lifts team performance more than any other. Here's the part most leaders miss. Every time you step in and do an underperformer's work, every time you make a decision for them, take a meeting yourself, or fix the thing before it goes upstairs, accountability shifts from them to you. So you probably haven't got a person who won't take accountability. You've got a person who doesn't need to. In this episode I walk you through the rescue cycle, the six signs of an accountability vacuum so you can score yourself out of six, and the night at a social function when I found out two teams inside the same bank were building almost exactly the same thing. The overlap number still makes me wince. I also answer two questions that came in live. Christina asks how you get someone to see their failures when they refuse to. Dylan asks how you motivate people with no ambition, who just show up and do enough to get by. Grab a pen. You'll want to keep score. ———————— GET YOUR SCORE ON ALL SEVEN Scoring yourself on one blind spot is useful, but it's a seventh of the picture, and the one costing you the most might not be this one.

	How to Build a Team That Performs Without You: 16 Real Questions	25 Aug 2026	00:33:13
We asked 800 leaders one question. What's actually hard about leadership right now? The answers were so good we decided to answer them live. No prep. No script. Em fires the questions, and I get two minutes on each. These are real questions from real leaders in our free Skool community, the No Bullsh!t Leadership Hub (https://www.skool.com/nblh). 16 questions, 16 answers. And every one of them comes back to the same thing: whether your team can perform without you. If your team faced a major challenge today and you weren't available, would they solve it? If the answer is "no", the issue might not be their capability. It might be your lack of leadership. Every time you step in, you rob them of a rep they needed. In this episode: 1. Are we building resilient teams, or creating dependence by stepping in too quickly? 2. I've gone from leading 14 people to 70. How do I let go of work I think I need to control? 3. Doing the task myself tells me if the workload griping is fair. Or am I rationalising dipping down? 4. My utilisation target is 92%. How do I defend leadership time in a billable hours culture? 5. Even when I'm on leave, I clear emails out of guilt. How do you actually switch off? 6. If you stepped away for a week, would your team respond effectively, or fail? 7. My team says green, then it's suddenly amber. How do I assess progress without micromanaging? 8. We've slipped from action takers to explainers and complainers. How do I reset this? 9. I was promoted from within. How do I set expectations with people who are my friends? 10. One of my leaders has micromanaged staff out the door for four years. Can someone like that change? 11. I had to let a new hire go and it took an emotional toll on me. Does this ever get easier? 12. An employee used company systems for personal gain. The investigation will take months. What now? 13. We had a death at work. What can I actually do to help my people through it? 14. Do I push my team to use AI now, or wait for the tools to mature? 15. Four weeks acting up. Does that deserve a pay bump, or is the opportunity enough? 16. They hired an external into a role I'd been acting in. That person failed, so they've asked me to fill in again.

	Your Ultimate Talent Identification Checklist	18 Aug 2026	00:19:20
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. 🚨 Every time you rescue an underperformer, you teach them that delivery is optional.

	Will You Choose to Accept the Cost of Leadership? \| Moment 186	16 Aug 2026	00:04:04
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.

	3 Mindset Shifts When You're Unhappy At Work	11 Aug 2026	00:14:39
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.

	12 Execution Breakthroughs for Leading Leaders	04 Aug 2026	00:33:26
If you're leading leaders, accountability is the first thing that breaks. You're not overloaded. You just rely too much on your own individual brilliance to get results. Until you learn to lead your leaders better, you'll never get out of the spin cycle. A few weeks ago, Em and I sat in a room with six CEOs we've been working with for the better part of a year. We asked each of them to rate their own leadership performance, as founder CEOs, on a scale of 1 to 10. When it came to how well they'd built a strong accountability cadence in their business, all but one rated themselves at six or below. Here's the interesting part. Every single one of them could describe the problem accurately. Diagnosing it wasn't hard. Changing it is incredibly difficult. Nobody in that room needed new information. That's the whole game. It's not about not knowing what to do. It's all in the execution. In this episode, Em and I give you the 12 execution breakthroughs that came out of that room. If you're the person everyone ultimately relies upon to get things done, this one's for you. The 12 Execution Breakthroughs: Delegation without accountability is doomed to failure Rescuing people when they don't deliver doesn't help them, it limits their growth Accountability without empowerment is cruelty Micromanaging slows everything to glacial speed Standards need to be upheld all the way to the front line If you can't measure it, you can't hold people accountable for delivering it Lifting the pace requires pressure, lifting the standard requires conflict Structure in 1:1s builds the guardrails to connect fully with the individual Just because you've fixed the problem doesn't mean you've solved it Money is less important to people when they see a future path There's a big difference between being relaxed and being complacent Discomfort is the price of admission to a meaningful life ———————— No Bullsh!t Leadership episodes: Ep.411: Stop Rescuing Underperformers Ep.374: The Biggest Killer of Empowerment Ep.348: How To Overcome Your Fear Of Feedback Ep.334: The Perfect Ending for a 1:1 Meeting Ep.264: Controlling Without Micromanaging Ep.260: Setting the Bar: Raising the standard of leadership excellence Ep.39: Getting Results When You Don't Have Control LBT link: Leadership Beyond the Theory ———————— Have you taken our free Leadership Blindspot test? ✨In just 10 minutes you'll uncover the hidden leadership habits holding you back.

	Stop Solving Your Team's Problems: 6 Ways to Execute Like Elon	28 Jul 2026	00:20:07
If you look at the spectacular results that Tesla has achieved as a business, it might entice you to try to emulate Elon Musk’s leadership approach. But that would most likely be disastrous. People love to romanticise the image of the founder who’s so deep in the detail that he can solve the toughest technical problems better than his own engineers. How many LinkedIn posts extol the virtues of entrepreneurs who lead like this? But for 99.9% of leaders, this could never work. In this episode, I pull the principles of Musk’s algorithm apart, and explore what he actually did, why it worked for him, and why trying to copy it will not only fail, but also stunt the growth of your leadership pipeline.

	5 Ways To Align People's Pay With Their Value	21 Jul 2026	00:20:05
Can you explain clearly why the people on your team are paid what they're being paid? If you can't, you may have a hidden problem eating away at your meritocracy. We've produced a few episodes over the years on remuneration structures, particularly how to link incentives to performance. This episode is all about the gap between what people believe about merit-based pay, and what actually happens when you try to put that into practice. Timing… negotiation skill… historical anomalies… skill shortages… there's a long list of barriers that conspire to stop you from paying people what they're truly worth. And most of them are completely outside of your control. In this episode, I give you five specific, practical steps that you can take to rebalance the scales of merit-based pay. And, at the very least, you’ll be able to explain, with a high degree of confidence, why your people are paid what they're being paid. ———————— You can connect with me at: Website: https://www.yourceomentor.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentor Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentor Linkedin: 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.

	Do You Understand Your Team's Psychological Contract? \| Moment 182	19 Jul 2026	00:04:24
The psychological contract is the mutual understanding between an employer and employee about their respective obligations to each other. There are no rules for these contracts: they’re based purely on people's perceptions, and they exist in people’s heads, not in formal documents. No matter how hard you work to keep your people happy, it's never enough: privileges just become entitlements.

	Stop Rescuing Underperformers: How to Make Consequences Stick	14 Jul 2026	00:26:32
Underperformers don't change because you ask them nicely. They only change when they can no longer avoid the consequences of not delivering. Every time you swoop in and rescue someone, you’re filling that performance gap on their behalf. At the same time, you’re reinforcing the fact that they *never* have to meet an acceptable standard, if they don’t want to. You might think you're just delivering the outcome: but you’re also unintentionally condoning unacceptable performance. As the leader, you’re responsible for the culture… and that’s a cancer in your culture. Every minute you spend doing someone else’s job is a minute you’re not doing your own. While your team is rewarded with extra work, they see you rewarding the poor performer with more of your time and attention. In this Q&A episode we cover: Why rescuing an underperforming peer is a disaster waiting to happen: if it works they take the credit, and if it fails you’re the scapegoat; The soft escalation technique that puts your boss in the picture without starting a political war you can't win An influencing technique that brings pressure to bear on a stubborn peer, without going over their head Why your people can predict exactly what you'll tolerate, and how that sets the performance bar The reason why nobody warns you when things are going wrong, and what you can learn from big corporate failures, like Theranos, that suppress bad news Why an empty house is better than a bad tenant: the case for exiting your worst performer, even in a tight labour market How to farewell someone with dignity, while still taking the opportunity for the rest of the team to learn from the cautionary tale. ———————— Podcast ———————— You can connect with me at: Website: https://www.yourceomentor.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentor Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentor Linkedin: 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.

	The 2 Hardest Conversations You'll Have With Your Top Talent	07 Jul 2026	00:17:20
Your top talent doesn't always quit because they're unhappy. Often, they simply can’t see what their next move is. And if that’s the case, it’s not their fault: it’s yours! Every leader I talk to at the moment is obsessed with retention; it feels like it's getting harder for them to hold onto their top performers. Job tenures are declining, but the averages often mask the real story. In this episode, I explain why a scarcity mindset entices good leaders to do dumb sh!t, by playing defence at exactly the wrong moment; and I walk you through the two hardest conversations you'll have with your top talent. If you get them wrong, you’ll lose your best people when it could have easily been avoided. But, if you get them right, you'll get more out of them for longer, even though you know you might lose them eventually. It doesn’t matter what your team structure is… it doesn’t matter whether or not a promotion opportunity exists… *your* job, as a leader, is to develop, grow, and stretch every individual to bring out their best, no matter what.

	Meetings: When to speak, when to listen	30 Jun 2026	00:19:01
Meetings can be a political minefield, and most leaders rely purely on their instinct to get by: which means they get it wrong more often than they realise. This episode cuts through the noise on one of the most deceptively complex leadership skills: knowing when to talk and when to shut up. It sounds simple, but It isn't: and The Economist's "Babble Hypothesis" proves why getting the balance wrong can derail your career. In this episode, I lay out a practical framework for two meeting scenarios that matter most: when you're in the chair, and when you're a participant in a room full of people more senior than you. I also give you my take on three types of meeting disrupters (otherwise known as d!ckheads), and some killer lines to get them off their soapbox, without blowing up the whole meeting. By the end, you'll have a clear, context-driven model for moving between listening and contributing, so that every time you open your mouth, it actually counts. ———————— You can connect with me at: Website: https://www.yourceomentor.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentor Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentor Linkedin: 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.

	The Real Reason Your Team Moves So Slowly	23 Jun 2026	00:15:55
When we think about high-performing teams, we assume they have superior strategies and top-class talent. But one characteristic we often overlook is pace. And pace doesn’t happen organically: it takes a leader to build momentum into the culture. The best teams have a relentless drive to get things done; a bias for action that cuts through everything they do. A team that has momentum feels entirely different, and once you’ve been on a team like that, everything else will feel second-rate. The problem is that, despite all the posturing and empty claims, most leaders never truly create momentum in their teams. In this episode, I break down why speed is so critical to performance; I identify the seven biggest killers of momentum; and I leave you with the three moves you can make (starting right now) to build genuine pace into your team's culture. ———————— You can connect with me at: Website: https://www.yourceomentor.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentor Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentor Linkedin: 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.

	AI for Leaders in 2026: Promoted or Replaced?	16 Jun 2026	00:51:15
Have you ever sat in a meeting about AI, nodded along, then thought, "I've got no idea what they're talking about, and I'm meant to be leading this"? If so, you're in good company. In this episode, I chat with Em and AI expert James Killick to answer the question every leader is quietly asking. In 2026, does AI get you promoted, or replaced? Here's the truth. AI isn't coming for leaders. It's coming for the leaders who live in the detail and do the work of the people below them. Your job hasn't changed since the Industrial Revolution. Take your people, your tools, and your budget, and turn them into something valuable. In this episode: Why AI replaces the technical work, not the leadership work, and who that puts at risk The "automate last" rule, and why 9 in 10 AI projects fail How to treat AI like an over-enthusiastic intern, so your judgement matters more, not less The one mindset shift: lead AI inward, lead people outward What to hand to AI first, and the 20% only you can do The window is open right now. Move first and you get ahead. Sit still and you get left behind. Leadership Beyond the Theory June cohort is open. Doors close Friday 26 June.

	Stop Disempowering Your People \| Moment 177	14 Jun 2026	00:04:23
Virtually every leader likes to talk about empowering their team. But if you were to ask 10 of them what empowerment actually means, you’d get 11 different answers. Over the years, the concept of empowerment has been dumbed down to make it vague and aspirational. True empowerment is neither of those things. It's a core driver of performance, and in this Moment, I give you my number one tip for not accidentally killing it.

	Dealing With an Employee You “Can't” Fire: 2 questions every leader needs to ask	09 Jun 2026	00:37:36
Talented jerks and people who game the system just need to go. The value they bring through their technical skill is massively outweighed by the damage they do to the rest of the team. You can't motivate them. You can't inspire them. You can't lift them. So stop trying! Because while you hold onto the person destroying your culture, your good people are quietly working out that there's an easier way to earn a living somewhere else. In this Q&A episode we cover: The two-question rule for dealing with someone who's too good to lose but too toxic to keep Why PIPs, pay rises, and pep talks keep failing on the same person, and the one thing that actually shifts the behaviour How to hold a subcontractor accountable without the accountability sliding straight back onto you The trap of being a control freak when the work goes remote, and the fix How to manage a system gamer in a place where performance management is almost impossible to pull off Why redundancy and performance management are not the same thing The move to make before you act on any problem person, so the real problem in the building never becomes you If you liked this format, leave a comment on the episode and let us know! ———————— Is your team performing at the standard it should be? ✨ Join Marty and Em for The Mid-Year Leadership Reset — a free 2-hour live workshop to stop the drift before the second half of the year gets away from you.

	Nailing Your Formal Performance Review	02 Jun 2026	00:17:28
Most leaders DREAD the formal performance review; because they don’t prepare and they don’t know what to expect. Today I go deep on how to control the dialogue, so that your review becomes a career accelerator, rather than a spirited defense of your failings. Let’s face it: you know your performance hasn’t been perfect, so it’s easy to agonise over how your boss might evaluate you. This makes it tempting to just throw yourself at your boss’s mercy, and plead for leniency, hoping the good will outweigh the not-so-good. But if you manage this conversation well, it will reinforce your value, and shape how the organisation sees your future. In this episode, I give you a practical framework for nailing your formal review. From KPIs to performance standards, I show you how to read the room before you walk in, and how to build a case to support your performance evaluation. I also show you how to take advantage of an opportunity that almost everyone leaves on the table.

	8 Surprising Ways to Reduce Unwanted Turnover	26 May 2026	00:20:58
Most leaders think high turnover is a retention problem. But it’s not; it's a leadership problem. And the fix is the exact opposite of what most leaders do. Staff turnover is still widely misunderstood. And most leaders operate from a place of fear, responding to it defensively. They tiptoe around their people, lower the standards, and tolerate poor performance so they don't rock the boat. But, ironically, this is the *worst* thing you could possibly do for your retention problem. In this episode I give you my views on how to frame the turnover problem; I look at an article from Harvard Business Review that confirms what great leaders have always known. And I give you a practical framework that you can implement: four things to stop doing and four things to start doing.
