No Bullsh!t Leadership is a podcast for leaders who want to become truly exceptional. Each week, your host, Wall Street Journal Bestselling author Martin G Moore, shares the secrets of high performance leadership; the career accelerators that you can’t learn in business school, and your boss is unlikely to share with you. Step away from the theoretical view on leadership, and learn from a successful CEO who’s already walked the path.

Do you spend time worrying about the economy? Or whether AI will hollow out your role?
A lot of leaders burn their energy on things that are completely outside of their control, while ignoring the things they actually can influence.
Resilience is an essential leadership trait, and the ultimate expression of resilience is grace under pressure.
You don’t get there just by sucking it up and putting your game face on. It starts with knowing what you can control and what you can’t, and believing that you can control your environment (at least to some extent).
In this episode, I explain the locus of control: a foundational element of all genuinely resilient people; I let you in on a slightly irrational belief that keeps me steady when the chips are down; I give you three practical steps to shift towards an internal locus of control; and I finish with a few ideas for how to bring your team with you.

Everyone thinks competitive advantage is built in the boardroom. It isn’t. It’s built in the middle; by the managers who make hundreds of calls every day about standards, priorities, and people.
The higher up you go, the less visibility and control you have over what happens below you, which is why you have to build the conditions for your middle managers to get it right without you.
If you want to take a deeper dive into how you can enable the leaders below you, have a listen to Ep.394: Competitive Advantage is Built in the Middle.

Show notes
If you think your next promotion will come because you’re outworking everyone around you, I’ve got some bad news: hard work doesn’t factor as a primary consideration in promotion decisions.
Results matter and, in a perfect world, that would pretty much be the end of the story. But several other considerations come into play.
In this episode, I unpack the six factors that really drive who gets promoted; I reveal the right way and the wrong way to work hard; and I show you where your hard work will get the most traction.
The leaders who rise the fastest aren’t the ones who do more ‘stuff’ and work punishing hours. They’re the ones who learn to get maximum leverage from their people.

Lots of things sound like they should be true. And when a leader utters them, we all nod in agreement. But deep down, we know it’s bullshit!
Most leaders have learned exactly what they’re expected to say… but their teams know what’s really going on.
People watch your feet, not your lips, and no amount of virtue signalling can bridge that gap.
If you want to take a deeper dive into how to walk the talk, have a listen to Ep.196: Virtue Signals Aren't Enough.

Show notes
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.

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. In this Moment, I give you five ways to ensure you get the most out of your superstars.

How many times have you sat in a room full of senior people, thinking about making a great point, but never actually speaking up?
In this episode, I show you how to take that step without sounding arrogant, making it personal, or risking your credibility.
You have to do your homework, find a small insight that drives a big improvement, and bring it into the room in a way that gets heard… without putting anyone’s nose out of joint.
Along the way, we’ll have a bit of fun as I tell you about how I became one of the Three Blond Gumbies, the golf tip that added 30 metres to my drive, and my all-time favourite opening line for a high-stakes meeting.

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.

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.

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.
Every time you get involved in the nitty gritty of your people’s work, you’re trading away the opportunity to build capability for achieving a fast, high-quality result.
The job at every level is different. You need to be clear on what your job is, and you need to stay in your lane and do it!
If you want to take a deeper dive into how to support your team without robbing them of the opportunity to build their skill and capability, have a listen to Ep.391: Do Hands-on Leaders Get Better Results?.

3. Work at Level. Are you leading at the right altitude, or stuck in the weeds? (Ep.420: http://www.yourceomentor.com/episode420)
4. Deliver Value. Are you focused on outcomes that matter, or just ticking boxes? (Ep.421: http://www.yourceomentor.com/episode421)
5. Make Great Decisions. Are you decisive when it counts, or do you overthink it? (Ep.422: http://www.yourceomentor.com/episode422)

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. In this episode, I take Chesky's argument apart, point by point, and give you five reasons why the one-on-one is still your secret weapon.

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.
Every time you get involved in the nitty gritty of your people’s work, you’re trading away the opportunity to build capability for achieving a fast, high-quality result.
The job at every level is different. You need to be clear on what your job is, and you need to stay in your lane and do it!
If you want to take a deeper dive into how to support your team without robbing them of the opportunity to build their skill and capability, have a listen to Ep.391: Do Hands-on Leaders Get Better Results?.

During my tenure as CEO at CS Energy, we took EBITDA from $17m to $441m: we more than doubled the company’s earnings for four consecutive years.
Along the way, I had to dig deep into two distinct toolkits: my business acumen, and my leadership capability.
When it comes to career advancement, there’s no substitute for building a strong track record of achievement. Performance is the undeniable resume builder. So, in the search for elite performance, what role does each capability play?
In this episode, I compare my Magnificent 7 areas of business acumen with the seven pillars of high-performance leadership from my WSJ bestselling book, No Bullsh!t Leadership, and I tell you how important I think each one is.

Some leaders remain uncorrupted, despite the fact that they move into increasingly powerful positions.
But there are others who, at every turn, leverage whatever power they have to further their own self-interest.
A leader who abuses their power wasn’t corrupted by it: they’re just using the power they have, in a way that’s entirely consistent with the person they’ve always been.

Show notes
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.
So before you decide your team is withholding bad news from you, look at yourself first: are you creating an environment where they can bring you anything? Or do they have to worry about reading your mood first?
If you want to fix your blindspots, doors for the next global cohort of Leadership Beyond the Theory close on 25th September. Invest 9-weeks to set yourself up for a lifetime of exceptional leadership performance.

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?

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?

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. So before you decide on how to handle them, have you actually been clear?

Yesterday was about accountability. 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. You tell yourself you're being kind. But in reality, you're not being kind; it’s more likely that you're protecting yourself from the discomfort of a difficult conversation.

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.

When you feel swamped and overwhelmed, it’s easy to go home and kick the cat.
But if you learn to compartmentalise, you’ll find it much easier to leave the stress of work at work (and vice versa).
In this Moment, I give you 3 tips to build greater resilience, by developing your compartmentalisation skills.
If you want to take a deeper dive into how to compartmentalise successfully, have a listen to Ep.303: Navigating Wicked Problems.

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. Recognised or used?

Being promoted to a new leadership level is a difficult transition to make. But it’s even tougher when you’re promoted to lead the team you used to be part of.
The biggest trap is that you might take the culture, the capability, and the performance of that team for granted.
This Moment gives you some ways to combat your status quo thinking, and set the scene for meaningful performance improvement.
If you want to take a deeper dive into how you can change the paradigm when you have to lead your old team mates, have a listen to Ep.269: Performing After Promotion.

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.
Free 2-hour workshop, Friday 28 August, 12pm AEST: the 7 leadership blind spots that created them, plus your own Blind Spot Scorecard!
