HAVE YOUR TOP TALENT DO MORE THAN JUST STAY

One of my maxims in life is to “minimise regret”.

It should be yours as well when it comes to retaining your top talent, particularly when studies show superior talent can be up to eight times more productive than the average team member, and that performance advantage only increases as the role becomes more complex.

So how do you minimise regrettable losses in your business way beyond exit and stay interviews?

In this video, I provide three key strategies to keep your top talent engaged, motivated, and making a big impact.

And it's those three key areas that are at the heart of our group coaching program, Higher Ground Leadership Mastermind.

Go a little deeper with our guide, 10 Tips for Keeping Your Top Talent, and learn why your best people leave and what you can do to make them want to stay: https://www.thehumanenterprise.com.au/10tipsforkeepingyourtoptalent/

What’s one of the biggest threats to your organisation’s future? Not the competition - it's the absence of a strong leadership culture. In this first episode of The Essentials of Leadership Series on Leaders for Life Radio, Paul Mitchell sits down with Matt Freedman, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Professional Services APAC at Salesforce, to unpack how great companies deliberately build leaders at every level, not just at the top. Their focus is on internal promotions wherever possible.

Matt’s an energiser - entrepreneurial, people-first, and right on the edge of what’s next in customer and employee experience. Together we explore the mindsets and rituals that turn individual leadership into a lived culture: growing talent, using feedback as fuel, making the tough calls, managing complex stakeholders, and staying future-fit as AI, agentic systems and new ways of working reshape our world. He provides practical, human, and immediately useful ideas - leadership you can apply before your next meeting.

Listen if you want to:

- Move from leadership as a person to leadership as a culture

- Coach for presence, gravitas and real results

- Handle big stakeholder moments under pressure

- Turn feedback and accountability into everyday habits

- Ready your high potentials for what’s coming next

This is a very sensitive topic.

Feedback may be the breakfast of champions but how do we serve it without being accused of bullying?

In this episode, I tackle a sensitive yet critical question relating to accusations of bullying:

"There is so much written on psychological safety lately. What have you found that works? I even had a partner say the other day to me, he'd love to give someone some "harsh" feedback (his words not mine) to one of his associate directors but probably won't as he would be accused of bullying. Now that really worried me. What should I tell him?"

With legislation and workplace expectations shifting, leaders often feel caught between providing essential guidance and avoiding potential backlash.

One way to address this is by using these three key principles for giving feedback that helps people grow without crossing the line.

The goal is always to help others shine, not to avoid the tough conversations.

What’s your approach to balancing psychological safety with honest communication? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below. It's an important and timely conversation.

If you’d like to explore more on building REAL workplace cultures in your leadership development journey, grab a copy of my book Your Leadership Diamond[here](insert link).

Let’s make feedback kind, real, and useful.

How energised are you as a leader? Drop your energy and your results will follow.

In this episode, I share 6 simple habits to help you maintain energy throughout the whole day so you can lead at your best.

Here's the question from an engineering manager in an IT firm who attended our Basecamp: Leadership Essentials programme. They asked:

“You referred throughout the workshop, Basecamp, to small tweaks. I'm wondering what small tweaks you do during the day to keep you so energised. Is it drugs? LOL. No seriously, any hints on overall energy management?"

I explore the small yet impactful habits that will help you maintain energy throughout the day, including Hal Elrod’s SAVERS method—a morning routine that sets the tone for high performance.

How do you stay energised? I’d love to hear your tips to help other leaders in the community.

“Our culture is built on positivity, and therefore I’m wondering how I keep this in mind while simultaneously giving people the feedback they need to develop. It’s not a big issue, but I know other leaders struggle with the same thing. Where have you seen this addressed in other NFPs?”

Creating a positive feedback culture is a challenge in any organisation. How do you balance encouragement with constructive feedback to truly help your team grow?

I share a simple framework for balancing support and challenge, designed to inspire growth and empower your team to reach their potential.

In this episode, I dive into a question many leaders face: how to be more responsive and less reactive at work.

A senior leader  recently asked me:

“In a recent performance review, I’ve been told I can be too reactive at times and that my emotional control, if not addressed, could be a ‘derailer’ for me and impact my promotion opportunities. Any quick tips?”

Here are some practical tools to help you shift from reacting impulsively to responding thoughtfully—an essential skill for peace of mind and leadership success.

I explain the power of "rephrasing" emotions to create healthy emotional distance.

Then I introduce our R.A.R.E. Framework for emotional control along with a breathing technique I've been using for years.

Your reputation as someone who responds rather than reacts will boost your promotion prospects and bring more presence and joy to your everyday leadership.

In this episode, I share practical strategies to help leaders stay focused and productive when negative energy within a team starts to drain motivation and momentum.

Here’s the question:

"How do I remain focused on the tasks at hand when there is so much negative energy within my team and the business? It’s a distraction that isn’t new, but it consumes energy and time, resulting in unproductive outcomes."

I’ll introduce you to the Net Forward Energy Ratio, a tool that helps redirect energy from problem analysis to positive action.

To apply it, I’ll walk you through five essential questions that will keep your team moving forward:

What’s already working?

How specifically is it working?

What’s our main objective?

What’s in it for all stakeholders (including all of us)?

And only then—what could we improve or change?

This approach won’t solve every issue overnight, but it’s a powerful way to transform unproductive dynamics and channel team energy toward constructive outcomes.

Enjoy the episode and hope it helps...

...And if the episode resonates with the challenges you're facing, consider exploring Basecamp: Leadership Essentials Online. A self-paced leadership programme that offers practical tools to help leaders foster positive dynamics at every level.

In this episode, I explore a question that touches on one of the most important leadership roles we ever take on—raising our children:

"Mitch, you constantly talk about leading in all areas of your life, so here’s a question about kids. What’s been the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given about bringing up great kids?”

Over the years, I’ve found that the principles of leadership at home are just as critical as those at work. Leading your family—specifically your kids—may be the most impactful leadership responsibility you'll ever face. Here are two essential ideas for raising confident, expressive children who feel good about themselves.

At the human enterprise, we believe in leading in all areas of life—at home, at work, and in your community. That’s why we’ve developed a mini-course called Leading Family, Friends, and Community. You can access the mini-course as one of the bonuses with Basecamp: Leadership Essentials Online. We’re offering it for free because strong leadership begins at home, and we want to support you in making a lasting impact where it matters most.

In this episode, I address a common and sensitive issue many CEOs face: managing the dynamics with an overly involved board chair.

They are often the same issues faced by any leader who feels disempowered when their manager is giving "instructions" directly to their team.

The question comes from a CEO of a startup in the health IT space, asking:

"The chair of our organisation is also a major shareholder but I was brought in to run the business. She is constantly involved in operational matters and "calls in" unannounced to chat with the staff anytime she wants. Is this normal?"

Over my 40-year career, I’ve identified three types of board members and how their involvement can vary. I’ll share insights into these types and provide strategies to establish clear communication, accountability, and authority to improve your relationship with the board and enhance your leadership effectiveness.

Check out the episode to learn how to navigate these challenges and let me know how you handle similar situations in your organisation.

Remember, the key is maintaining open lines of communication and clear boundaries.

Fed up with always being passed over?

Want to boost your chances of snagging that promotion you’ve been eyeing?

In this episode, I break down three "SHOULD DOs" to up your promotion game. Plus, two "MUST DOs" you can't afford to skip.

And guess what? It has very little to do with being better at your current role.

Here's the question:

“I’m one of a number of General Managers who have been told they are potential candidates for the role of CEO of all of APAC.

Apart from "making the numbers”, what are some of the best ways you’ve seen or heard of to increase your chances of getting the role?”

Over my 40-year career, I’ve coached leaders using these exact principles, and they’ve been blown away by how much it’s boosted their career development.

Check out the episode and let me know what’s been your winning strategy.

Oh, and one more thing—none of this matters unless you’re authentic and genuinely care.

PS: In the episode, I keep saying CEO instead of General Manager, but the principles are universal. Sorry for any confusion.
