Learn how to build high-performing teams by setting and enforcing clear standards. The colourful expression "It's Easier To Rein In a Stallion Than To Flog a Donkey" gives you pretty much everything you need to know about talent management and team performance.But it’s advice that's rarely heeded by leaders.We spend an inordinate amount of time trying to get people to reach a level of performance that, quite often, they simply have no interest in achieving.It sucks our time, our energy, and our will, and it makes every day feel a lot harder than it should be.In this episode, I make the case for building talent, and creating a team where people are expected to meet the minimum acceptable standard… or find a less demanding job somewhere else.————————🚪 The doors are officially OPEN for Leadership Beyond the Theory!This isn’t another fluffy leadership course.

Are you tired of trying to lift your team’s productivity, only to find that the results remain stubbornly average?The thing that’s holding your people back may not be obvious. Over the years, I came to realise that busy is the enemy of productive.A huge amount of what our teams do each day delivers no value, whatsoever… it’s organisational white noise that serves only to distract us, and create the impression that we’re doing something worthwhile.And although it might seem harmless enough, this low value work is incredibly counterproductive, getting in the way and stopping us from nailing the results that potentially deliver the most value.In this episode, I explain why there is no virtue in busyness for its own sake; and I give you my 7-step playbook for eliminating low-value, meaningless work, so that you can focus your team on the highest value deliverables. You can download this playbook for free at www.yourceomentor.com/episode366------------🚀 What if you could transform your leadership in just 90 days?Most leaders stall because they rely on theory, not a system.

Is ‘Imposter Syndrome’ real, or just an excuse leaders use to avoid accountability? Imposter Syndrome is a term that’s really taken hold over the last several years. LinkedIn is full of heart-wrenching confessions from those who suffer from Imposter Syndrome.So, what’s the difference between Imposter Syndrome, and the natural self-doubt that any well-adjusted leader experiences from time to time?Don’t label yourself with the imposter syndrome tag; instead, use your self-doubt as a handbrake to stop you from becoming overconfident or arrogant.If you want to go deeper into how to beat imposter syndrome, have a listen to Ep.229: Confidence, Arrogance, and Self-Doubt.  ————————Get the insider edge with the No Bullsh!t Leadership Hub on Skool - completely FREE!Join like-minded leaders who love the podcast and dive into exclusive resources, real conversations, and weekly challenges designed to sharpen your leadership game.Don’t miss out, join now!————————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/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally. 👉 Doors are open for Leadership Beyond the Theory.

The #1 performance lever leaders ignore: single-point accountability. I was recently asked a compelling question by one of the leaders in our Leadership Beyond the Theory community: “If accountability is so critical to performance, why haven’t I come across it before?”This is a leader who already has an MBA… he’s participated in a variety of leadership courses… and he’s read all the classic leadership books.The answer stems from the fact that hard things are often avoided in corporate cultures. And, make no mistake, strong accountability can only be found on the road less travelled.In this episode, I go deep on why your team is probably falling short, and how bridging the accountability gap can fix this.I give a run down on why single point accountability is the number one driver of execution excellence; I look at the three reasons why leaders (and organisations) are so reluctant to talk about it; and I give you my 5 practical steps for creating a strong, single-point accountability culture – no blame / no excuses! ————————If you’re ready to build the kind of accountability culture I talk about in this episode, you’ll love our flagship program Leadership Beyond the Theory.

Entitlement is killing performance - here’s how to reset the standard. For as long as I can remember, I’ve believed strongly that leaders shouldn’t give into unreasonable or frivolous employee demands, especially if they clearly conflict with the best long-term interests of the business.This Moment reminds you that your people are there to do a job, not to be entertained and indulged. I also give you the one compelling question that should constantly be in the back of your mind.If you want to go deeper into how to combat employee entitlement culture, have a listen to Ep.166: Don't Mollycoddle Your People.————————Join our free Skool community for real leaders with no egos. 👥 High-calibre connections.🎧 Weekly Podcast Club prompts.📢 Unfiltered convos that shape the podcast content.You’re in the trenches, so are we.

Not every high performer wants to lead...here’s how to spot true leadership potential! It always comes as a surprise when someone we had earmarked for bigger and better things announces that they have no desire to progress.Our search for talent, and our need to fill the leadership pipeline for our company can deceive us. We occasionally typecast someone who has absolutely no interest in leading.Halo effect often leads us to overestimate someone’s ability, and their intuitive sense of their own limitations can freeze them in their own fear of failure.In this episode, I look at why some great employees might not fit our stereotype of ambitious people; I talk about the capabilities that distinguish a rising star from a really good worker; and I give you 8 questions you can ask yourself to work out which is which.We've also created a free downloadable PDF checklist that you can use to assess your rising stars’ capabilities, so that you can make better predictions about their future leadership success. ————————Get the insider edge with the No Bullsh!t Leadership Hub on Skool - completely FREE!Join like-minded leaders who love the podcast and dive into exclusive resources, real conversations, and weekly challenges designed to sharpen your leadership game.Don’t miss out, join now!————————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/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally. 👉 Doors are open for Leadership Beyond the Theory.
