Keeping people happy…it seems to be a constant focus for leaders at all levels, and it spawns all sorts of cultural ills.

But the worst part is that, for all the time, money and energy that goes into trying to crack that nut, most leaders miss the mark… to be honest, the vast majority of leaders aren’t even aiming at the right target.

You could work tirelessly, every day for the rest of your career, to try to exceed your people’s expectations… and not even move the needle. 

One of the main reasons for this is that you may be blissfully unaware of the role that the the psychological contract plays in your people’s job satisfaction.

Today, I want to put people’s unspoken expectations into context… to give you an understanding of the PC… and to give you some ideas for how where to start.

Leading a team in a unionised business is different. It’s hard enough to lead when you have direct line of sight to your people, but when there’s a third party running interference between you, it can be super tricky.

I had the opportunity to work for a number of industrial businesses that had a heavy union influence, and I learned an incredible amount about leadership because of the inherent degree of difficulty.

My goal in this episode is not to demonise or disparage the unions. But, no matter what anyone tells you, it is way harder to lead for performance in a unionised business.

Then again, no matter what anyone tells you, it is possible to lead your team to make positive change in a unionised business.

After all, the vast majority of people come into work each day wanting to do a good job and make a difference. So don’t let the adversarial nature of your relationship with the unions taint your optimism, or dampen your enthusiasm.

I cover a lot of ground in this episode, culminating in my 8 top tips for leading a unionized business to drive positive change and improved performance.

Moment #116 // Leadership power can be dangerous, if you use it thoughtlessly. 

But if you take the time to understand it, and use your power deliberately, rather than unconsciously, you will see a world of difference.

Work-related mental health issues are on the rise - and this increase seems to be fuelled by an entitlement culture that’s holding many companies captive.

Leading is becoming more and more complicated, as the separation between our work and personal lives is almost impossible to distinguish.

We hear a lot about work-related anxiety, bullying, and harassment, and many well-intentioned leaders are being demonised as a result.

But what happens when the shoe is on the other foot? When a team member bullies their leader to try to force them to abandon their change agenda, or even walk away from the team?

In this episode, I give you five practical tips to deal with upward bullying, if you happen to find yourself in the crosshairs.

Moment #115 // Written communication in business is pretty poor, for the most part. People put countless hours into writing, and it may or may not surprise you to hear that most of it never gets read.

If you start with the premise that most people don’t read what you write, it will liberate you to write less… and that’s better for everyone!

If you want to take a deeper dive into how you can improve your written communication, have a listen to Ep.38: Communicating With Impact

In the high stakes world of Formula 1 motor racing, the difference between the fastest cars and the slowest cars can be measured in fractions of a second.

What is it that separates the genuine contenders for world championship glory, from those that are destined to just make up the numbers on the starting grid?

I came across a recent interview in Fortune Magazine with Zac Brown, the CEO of McLaren Racing: How a ‘no-blame’ work culture helped McLaren win its first major racing championship in more than 20 years

I’m a huge believer in the maxim: leadership drives culture; culture drives performance, so I was intrigued to see what Zac Brown, fresh off winning the 2024 F1 Constructors’ Championship, attributed the team’s success to.

In this episode, I give you just enough background on F1 to enable you to put the lessons into context, and then expound on my 4 key steps to building a winning culture – no blame, no excuses!

Moment #114 // Although we like to create neat definitions for different leadership approaches, every individual has a different style.

Any style can be effective, but some leadership behaviors are not negotiable, if you’re serious about performance.

Once you’re exposed to these simple principles, you’ll realize how valuable it would be to take a leaf out of the strong leaders’ success playbook.

I was preparing a resource for a group of CEOs who are currently in our Business Accelerator Program, and one part of the content jumped out at me—how do you improve your odds of bringing outstanding talent into your team?

You’ve probably heard me say that high-performing teams start with high-performing individuals… and that is absolutely true. It’s almost impossible to take a team of mediocre people, and try to drag them kicking and screaming to high performance.

It would be like me lining up at the start of the Olympic 100m final. The outcome is predetermined, and nothing I can do would change it.

Because No Bullsh!t Leadership is all about achieving high performance and superior results, I decided to slip this podcast episode in today to help you through the treacherous terrain of securing top talent.

The higher the quality of your people, the more likely it is that you’ll be able to leverage that talent to produce extraordinary performance!

Moment #113 // Many company strategies look good on face value, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re effective.

There are many reasons for this, and in this Moment, I look at four of the more common ones.
