Number 1: How to Hold Your Team Accountable: 6 Signs Nobody Owns Anything
Somewhere on your team right now there's a person who isn't delivering. You thought of their name before you got to the end of that sentence. Over the next seven days, I'm going to show you they're probably not your problem. They're a symptom of it. This is Day 1 of a seven part series, recut from a live workshop I ran called Stop Rescuing Your Underperformers. One leadership blind spot a day, for seven days. Today it's number one, and it's the big one. Accountability. I've taught this for almost a decade, and if you did nothing else at all, this is the one that lifts team performance more than any other. Here's the part most leaders miss. Every time you step in and do an underperformer's work, every time you make a decision for them, take a meeting yourself, or fix the thing before it goes upstairs, accountability shifts from them to you. So you probably haven't got a person who won't take accountability. You've got a person who doesn't need to. In this episode I walk you through the rescue cycle, the six signs of an accountability vacuum so you can score yourself out of six, and the night at a social function when I found out two teams inside the same bank were building almost exactly the same thing. The overlap number still makes me wince. I also answer two questions that came in live. Christina asks how you get someone to see their failures when they refuse to. Dylan asks how you motivate people with no ambition, who just show up and do enough to get by. Grab a pen. You'll want to keep score. ———————— GET YOUR SCORE ON ALL SEVEN Scoring yourself on one blind spot is useful, but it's a seventh of the picture, and the one costing you the most might not be this one. The free Leadership Blind Spot Scorecard runs you through all seven, the same way we did it live. ✨ 10 minutes. Your results on a wheel, ranked from your biggest blind spot down to your smallest. Nobody else sees it. GET YOUR BLIND SPOT SCORECARD HERE: https://score.leadershipbeyondthetheory.com/workshop ———————— The 7 Leadership Blind Spots, one a day: 1. Drive Accountability. Do people deliver for you, or do they make excuses? 2. Handle Conflict. Can you have the tough conversations that weak leaders avoid? 3. Work at Level. Are you leading at the right altitude, or stuck in the weeds? 4. Deliver Value. Are you focused on outcomes that matter, or just ticking boxes? 5. Make Great Decisions. Are you decisive when it counts, or do you overthink everything? 6. Master Ambiguity. Can you make decisions when you don't have all the answers? 7. Build Resilience. Do you stay calm when everything's falling apart, or do you crumble? Tomorrow, blind spot number two, and it's the reason this one is so hard to fix. Handling conflict. ———————— Leadership Beyond the Theory link: https://www.leadershipbeyondthetheory.com/ ———————— You can connect with me at: Website: https://www.yourceomentor.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentor Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentor Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor You're still doing the work your team should own.

Number 2: How to Build a Team That Performs Without You: 16 Real Questions
We asked 800 leaders one question. What's actually hard about leadership right now? The answers were so good we decided to answer them live. No prep. No script. Em fires the questions, and I get two minutes on each. These are real questions from real leaders in our free Skool community, the No Bullsh!t Leadership Hub (https://www.skool.com/nblh). 16 questions, 16 answers. And every one of them comes back to the same thing: whether your team can perform without you. If your team faced a major challenge today and you weren't available, would they solve it? If the answer is "no", the issue might not be their capability. It might be your lack of leadership. Every time you step in, you rob them of a rep they needed. In this episode: 1. Are we building resilient teams, or creating dependence by stepping in too quickly? 2. I've gone from leading 14 people to 70. How do I let go of work I think I need to control? 3. Doing the task myself tells me if the workload griping is fair. Or am I rationalising dipping down? 4. My utilisation target is 92%. How do I defend leadership time in a billable hours culture? 5. Even when I'm on leave, I clear emails out of guilt. How do you actually switch off? 6. If you stepped away for a week, would your team respond effectively, or fail? 7. My team says green, then it's suddenly amber. How do I assess progress without micromanaging? 8. We've slipped from action takers to explainers and complainers. How do I reset this? 9. I was promoted from within. How do I set expectations with people who are my friends? 10. One of my leaders has micromanaged staff out the door for four years. Can someone like that change? 11. I had to let a new hire go and it took an emotional toll on me. Does this ever get easier? 12. An employee used company systems for personal gain. The investigation will take months. What now? 13. We had a death at work. What can I actually do to help my people through it? 14. Do I push my team to use AI now, or wait for the tools to mature? 15. Four weeks acting up. Does that deserve a pay bump, or is the opportunity enough? 16. They hired an external into a role I'd been acting in. That person failed, so they've asked me to fill in again.

Number 3: 5 Reasons Why One-on-Ones Are Your Secret Weapon
Airbnb CEO, Brian Chesky says he doesn't believe in one-on-ones. I couldn’t disagree more, so in this episode I show you why sometimes, even the best CEOs get this one wrong. Chesky says the 1:1 model is flawed. Not only does he not do them, but he asserted that almost no great CEO does either. To support his point, he quoted Nvidia CEO, Jensen Huang, backing a similar view. Here's the problem: I think it's wrong. Not a little bit wrong, but fundamentally wrong for the vast majority of leaders who aren't running a flat, product-driven tech company. I spent thirty years perfecting the one-on-one, and it's the single most powerful tool I ever had as a leader. In this episode, I take Chesky's argument apart, point by point, and give you five reasons why the one-on-one is still your secret weapon.

Number 4: Power Doesn't Corrupt: It Reveals | Moment 190
Some leaders remain uncorrupted, despite the fact that they move into increasingly powerful positions. But there are others who, at every turn, leverage whatever power they have to further their own self-interest. A leader who abuses their power wasn’t corrupted by it: they’re just using the power they have, in a way that’s entirely consistent with the person they’ve always been.
