Moment 145. When Leaders Should (and Shouldn’t) Say Sorry
We all get things wrong, sometimes… but if we apologised every time we made a mistake, we’d be forever grovelling to someone. If you never apologise, you’ll seem arrogant, disconnected, and out of touch… but if you apologise too much, you’ll appear weak, indecisive, and ineffective. When should you drive forward confidently, and when should you take a step back and show remorse for the impact this can have on your people?If you want to go deeper on how to strike the balance between decisiveness and self-reflection, have a listen to Ep.188: It's Hard to Say Sorry.————————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.

The Biggest Killer of Empowerment (and 3 Ways to Fix It)
Are your people truly empowered, or just waiting for permission? Find out here. “Empowerment” is a word that seems to be used in an increasingly offhanded, throw-away fashion. When that happens, it loses both its meaning and its power.But, despite the dumbing down of empowerment, it’s still one of the most critical ingredients of execution.If you can’t empower your people effectively, you’ll stymie them; they’ll never willingly accept the level of accountability that would supercharge their results, if only they knew how to embrace it.In this episode, I uncover some of the nuances of empowerment which, even though you may not be aware of them, are probably holding your people back and diminishing your own effectiveness. Going a layer deeper here, I reveal the #1 killer of empowerment, and I give you my 3 pro tips to stop you from disempowering your people.————————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 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.
