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.

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.

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.

If you want to take a deeper dive into how to harness the value of your top talent, have a listen to Ep.315: Getting the Most From Your Stars.

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.

If your workload is out of control, your best people are leaving, and you feel alone and unsupported, it might be that you're working for a weak leader.

In this Moment, I give you four telltale signs to look for, and some hard questions to ask yourself to work out if you’re able to stick it out.

If you decide to continue working for a weak leader, you can find some techniques for improving your situation in Ep.392: When Your Boss Has No Backbone.
