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.

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.

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.

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; and
• You 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!

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? Or Bullying?.

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?

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.

Even the best leaders fail without strong management. Here are 6 lessons for phenomenal results.

This episode started with a Simon Sinek post on LinkedIn, and ended up being one of the most practical, implementation-focused episodes I’ve ever produced.

The Sinek article was titled, 5 Things Managers Do That Leaders Never Would. It got me thinking again about the fundamental nature of leadership and management. The very best leaders understand why high order management skills are core to their success.

In my early executive roles, I was a much better leader than I was a manager… and that was a problem. On a few occasions, I was blindsided by substandard performance.

My path to success wasn’t about becoming a better leader. It was about working out how to manage my people more tightly, without becoming a micromanager, or overfunctioning for them.

In this episode, I share that journey with you.

I revisit the leadership vs. management debate that so many people seem to be fixated on; I offer some insights from my own journey; and I give you six practical tips to help you in your quest to consistently produce phenomenal results.
