Episode #51 // Last week marked International Youth Day, so to celebrate we’ve put together this long-awaited episode on how to lead Millennials, a pretty common question from listeners.

Marty was recently quoted in an article for The CEO Magazine (Generations X and Y: leadership ready?) written by Adam Courtenay), which explored the future of leadership when Millennials take the baton from the current generation of leaders.

Millennials get a bad rap for lots of things, but they have some distinct advantages over Baby Boomers and Gen Xs.

Surprisingly, leading Millennials is no different to leading other types of people - the problem is that, if you are a poor leader, you will just get away with a lot less!

Episode #50 // Many of you will have heard of “The Peter Principle”; the concept that every employee in a hierarchy rises to their level of incompetence. If you believe this, then anyone who has been in the same role for an extended period of time is, by definition, incompetent.

We look at the Peter Principle, take a recent perspective from The Economist called “Bartleby’s Curse”, and blend it all with Elliott Jaques’ stratum theory, to arrive at a “No Bullsh!t Leadership” view of career ambition and organisational progression.

How do you beat the Peter Principle so that you build a career that challenges and satisfies you, without experiencing the deep dissatisfaction that comes when you spend a lifetime heading towards the wrong goals?

In this episode I also recommend that you go back and listen to Episode 7 Working At The Right Level: What got you to here won’t get you to there.

Episode #49 // When a new boss comes into an organisation and identifies that there is a need to make major changes, should she listen to her people, or push ahead regardless?

Changing fundamentals like the organisational values can be tricky, but sometimes necessary. The so-called ‘Captain’s Call’ is used to at least some extent by all leaders, with varying degrees of success.

This episode explores the question from one of our listeners Greg: when is it OK to make a decision without the support of (or even in the face of concerted opposition from) your people? We examine potential repercussions, and cover some simple rules of thumb that will help you to think about how you are using the power of your position to get results.

Episode #48 // This week, Em and I take on a few great questions that appear to keep coming up regularly for our listeners!

The first question we tackle is from Sam, who wants to know how to build credibility quickly in a team he has inherited. (1:40)

Secondly, we answer Blake’s question which is quite a complex one. He wants to know how to deal with those people in his team who really struggle with change, and how to work out when it’s right to just keep moving forward with the change, even when people are anxious or resistant to it. (7:30)

We end with Laura’s question about using informal communication channels and cliques to communicate and incite change. (12:55)

If you’ve got a question that you’d like us to cover in the podcast, email it through to us at [email protected], we’d love to hear from you!

Episode #47 // I came across a great article in Forbes a few weeks ago, entitled The Three Biggest Misconceptions about Leadership, by Rajeev Peshawaria. It was such a good article that it got me to thinking about what the biggest misconceptions about leadership actually are.

Rajeev addresses some really big ticket items in his treatment of the subject, so today, I’m going to build on his article, and get a little more ‘granular’ about what, in my view, are the biggest leadership misconceptions.

Of course in my world, falling prey to these misconceptions is often tantamount to “believing your own bullshit”, something we should all be trying to avoid!

Episode #46 // When you are brought into an organisation to deliver a turnaround, or when the CEO says it’s time to make major performance and culture change, it isn’t going to happen by expecting the same people to do things radically differently.

The trick is to blend the best of the existing capability and culture with new ways of thinking, behaving, and performing. What role do we, as leaders, play in that?

In this episode we are going to learn why the people who built the house (the incumbent leadership) absolutely cannot renovate it; why you need to set different standards of behaviour and performance.

We’ll talk about the white blood cells that are there to protect the organisation from change, and even cover off on how to spot the subversive elements that will do their utmost to covertly derail your efforts (with all the best intent, of course)!

Episode #45 // You have probably heard me say before that ‘leaders are learners’ (well, it’s hardly an original saying, is it)?

Today, we step away from the purely business and organisational context to share a few very personal examples of how some of my greatest leadership learnings have come from everyday life - not from the world of business.

So why was my trip to Japan in 2012 so valuable in developing my perspective on different cultures, even though I had travelled through much of Asia previously?

And what skills and capabilities did I really acquire while neglecting my law degree to work in the bars of Sydney’s Kings Cross in the early ‘80s?

Opportunities are in front of us every day, if we just choose to open ourselves up to the lessons.

Episode #44 // One of the most important roles that a leader plays is to set the right standards for performance and behaviour in their organisation; an aspirational standard to which they expect their people to rise.

Often, we think we are setting a high standard of performance, but it is the exceptions that we make that tell people what the real standard actually is.

How do you make the standard that people must reach abundantly clear, and then ensure that it is carried through your team from top to bottom? This episode explores the aspiration of setting new, higher standards, and the key mistakes we make as leaders to unwittingly erode them.

Episode #43 // I have seen many leaders who are good under pressure, but just as many who really struggle in stress situations.

Resilience is a core ingredient of success for leaders, regardless of the type of organisation they work for.

If you can handle the inevitable setbacks that come with a level of calm, rational confidence it will help you to lead people through the toughest crises.

This episode gives tips for keeping your cool, not just at work, but also the critical ability to not let the stress and pressure bleed into your personal life.

Episode #42 // Realising that value is the fundamental building block of leadership, business, and in fact, all human endeavour, is a critical mind shift for a leader.

If we could actually do this, it would potentially lead us to do very different things when we turn up each day to lead our people.

This episode covers off a few pointed examples of what value looks like (and doesn’t look like) to get your creative juices flowing.

Hear about the value v price paradox, total cost of ownership, the time value of money, and the key economic concepts of specialisation of labour and comparative advantage.

It all begins with value, and this is the lens a leader must look through.
