BONUS EPISODE 🔥 Here's the truth: you can reset your standards, communicate them clearly, and feel great walking out of that conversation. But the moment someone misses the mark, that's where leadership actually starts.

In this episode, Marty and Em cover:

• Why most leaders don't fail because they lack vision, they fail in the split-second moments when standards get tested
• The difference between empowering your people and setting them up to fail
• Why "bring everyone along for the journey" is often just an excuse for weak leadership
• Single point accountability, the one thing that will change your team's performance faster than almost anything else
• How to tell if you're in a weak accountability culture (and what to do about it)
• The career link most leaders miss: leadership drives culture, culture drives performance

Day 3 drops tomorrow, subscribe to the podcast so you don't miss it!

When your team gets comfortable and performance slides, that's leadership drift. Here's your reset.

In this episode, Em and I give you 7 Ways to Reset your leadership standards, and get your team back on track.

Leadership drift doesn't announce itself. It creeps in slowly and quietly until one day you realise your team isn't performing the way it used to, and the uncomfortable truth is that they were following your lead the whole time. Missed deadlines, blame culture, broken commitments, slow decision making…these aren't team problems. They're leadership symptoms.

Em knows this firsthand. In the middle of rapid growth and mounting pressure last year, she realised her own people didn't have the clarity they deserved. Not because she was a bad leader, but because she'd quietly told herself that because they were strong, she could ease up. That's drift. And it happens to the best of us.

In this episode, recorded live from our Leadership Reset Workshop, we break down exactly what leadership drift looks like, why it's so easy to miss, and the practical steps you can take right now to reset your tone, pace, and standard, without blowing up trust or swinging into micromanagement.

Want to join Day 2 of the Leadership Reset, all about resetting your accountability? It’s completely free, join here.

You’re constantly being asked to do more with less. But that only increases your likelihood of burnout!

Instead, your goal should be to reduce your load by eliminating low-value work entirely, and concentrate solely on delivering value.

A culture of Simplicity and Focus will enable your team to deliver the things that matter most, and ignore the noise of low-level distractions.

If you want to take a deeper dive into how you can help your team to get greater traction, have a listen to Ep.67: Simplicity and Focus

Most leaders don't struggle because they're bad at leadership. They struggle because leadership is the only critical job on Earth that people are expected to just figure out (well, that and parenting!).

No training. No playbook. No feedback loop.

If you've ever thought, "I don't know what I don't know", that's not self-doubt. That's the system working exactly as designed.

Most leaders learn by copying what they were exposed to. If your previous bosses were average, chaotic, or absent, that starts to feel normal. And here's the real kicker: most companies are surprisingly resilient to poor leadership. So "doing fine" hides the biggest blind spots. Your team delivers. There's no major conflict.

But that doesn't mean you're leading well…it just means the team has adapted to a weak system.

You can't replicate what you've never seen. And if you've never worked for an exceptional leader, you're building your approach from incomplete models.

In this episode, Em and I break down the invisible gaps many leaders miss...the ones that quietly stall careers, drain confidence, and keep teams performing well below their potential. I'll show you where to look first, and why closing these gaps is the difference between staying stuck and actually breaking through!

Are you struggling to lead older workers? Learn how strong leaders bring out the best in legacy employees.

It’s not uncommon to have more experienced workers, who’ve become part of the organisational furniture, reporting to you… and that can be quite intimidating.

Even though you may feel like you have to treat older workers differently, you shouldn’t. Just like anyone else on your team, you have to work out how to stretch them, and get the most value possible from their skills and capabilities.

Their age is the least interesting thing about who they are, and it’s your job to lead them to give their best.

If you want to take a deeper dive into how you can liberate the dormant talent of your legacy employees, have a listen to Ep.242: Leading Older Workers.
