Episode #2 // If you want to be successful as a senior leader, you first have to build a team of successful individuals. A key part of this is recognising when someone is not going to be successful in their current role, and freeing them up to be successful in another organisation. From there, it’s all about culture and team dynamics.

So many people say that they have built a 'high performing team' - but how many high performing teams have you actually seen, or been part of?

In this episode we’ll cover:

• What is a high performing team, and how can you recognise if you have one?
• World class wisdom from champion athlete Benita Willis
• The seven characteristics of high performing teams (you can download this checklist below and rate your own team)
• How to look at the individuals in your team and work out whether they should be on, or off the bus (a la Jim Collins!)
• Some of the excuses and rationalisations you may come up with to avoid dealing with individuals who are not up to scratch, that are preventing you from creating a high performing team
• A cautionary tale about how tough it was to create a high performing team at CS Energy

If this episode strikes a chord with you, download the high performing team checklist below, and rate your team honestly. This will help you see your biggest opportunities for improvement!

I’d love to know how you go with the checklist, so if it’s useful, head over to my LinkedIn page and send me a direct message.

Episode #1 // Needing to be liked is a symptom of a deeper issue - conflict aversion. This affects everything you do as a leader. How would you know if you, or your people, had a problem with this? Overcoming it is key to any successful leader’s career.

On today’s show, we’re looking at why letting go of the need to be liked is critical for your success as a leader. I love talking about this, because it's so closely tied to one of my favourite career killers; the inability to handle conflict.

In this episode we'll cover:

• The mantra you HAVE to use if you're going to help yourself move from likeable leader, to respected leader
• Why wanting to be liked cannot be the goal of a leader
• Why developing yourself to handle conflict is essential to your leadership success
• How to recognise the symptoms of conflict aversion in yourself and others (it's much easier to see in others, but what about when you turn the microscope on yourself!)
• My key strategies for getting over the need to be liked
• My daily reflection discipline that will enable you to put the theory into action (you should definitely download these key questions at www.yourceomentor.com/episode1 to keep yourself on track)

I’d love to know how you go using the daily reflections discipline, and whether this has struck a chord with you in your leadership journey.
