No Bullsh!t Leadership

Leading Through Resistance and Inertia: Q&A with Marty & Em

Episode #289 // "Build an island of excellence within your team, even if the organizational culture resists change. Your leadership can thrive despite the barriers."


It’s often the case that the biggest impediments to improving your leadership performance are the organizational barriers that frustrate your efforts to be a strong leader. For example:


  • A boss who doesn’t want to change the way things are being done;
  • Irrational policies in critical areas like HR and finance;
  • Cultural barriers that provide resistance to any change; or
  • A lack of commitment to excellence and continuous improvement.


How do you lead through this, when it feels as though the people around you don’t necessarily want you to make things better? How do you improve your team’s performance, despite the barriers that exist in the organization’s DNA?


Your goal is to build an island of excellence in your team. This will free you from the constraints that seem to hold everyone else back. Even with a bad boss and a poor culture, there’s no reason why you can’t improve the way your team performs — control the controllables!


In this episode, Em helps me explore the issues of accountability, staff attrition, and peer resistance. We also talk about the constraints of your job… every role, every team, and every organization has them. The question is, can you live with them, or not?
