No Bullsh!t Leadership

Mastering Risk: Improving every decision

Episode #141 // Understanding risk, and being able to respond in a manner that’s both appropriate and proportional to the level of risk is a fundamental capability for leaders.


When we talk about judgement in leadership and decision making, a lot of it comes down to how well we can assess and respond to risk, given the uncertainty that faces us at any given point in time.


This episode brings the discipline of risk management to life, with a number of examples that take the mystery out of the subject. It will help you to implement a fit-for-purpose risk management approach that’s sure to enhance your decision-making.


I've also created a FREE PDF downloadable to accompany this episode 'The 6 Principles of Good Risk Management' which you can download here: https://www.yourceomentor.com/episode141#download

  • Moment #104: Team Morale Is Elusive

    04:39|
    Moment #104 // Conventional wisdom tells us that “happy workers are productive workers”... but short-term, sugar-hits of happiness don’t lead to high performance!Team morale is elusive, and you don’t build it by being overly protective, or by mollycoddling your people. You build it by giving them an environment where they’re expected to stretch, grow, and achieve.This builds individual self esteem, and genuine long-term satisfaction… it’s also the foundation of high team morale and superior performance.If you want to go deeper on how to really lift your team culture, have a listen to Ep.281 Building Team Morale.————————Get the insider edge with the No Bullsh!t Leadership Hub on Skool - completely FREE!Join like-minded leaders who love the podcast and dive into exclusive resources, real conversations, and weekly challenges designed to sharpen your leadership game.Don’t miss out, join now!————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally.

    Episode #333 // For the last four years, we’ve run the Crush Your Career Challenge with thousands of ambitious leaders, who’ve not only set bold career goals but actually achieved them. The challenge isn’t just about planning, it’s about results.This year, we’re taking it to a whole new level. You’ll be joining over 1,000 other No Bullsh!t Leaders, all working towards their goals alongside me and Em, inside The No Bullsh!t Leadership Hub.

Be honest, are they still on track, or have they started to lose steam?Here’s what I know to be true: resolutions fail because they’re usually reactive. They focus on fixing what’s broken instead of building something extraordinary. That’s where the Crush Your Career Challenge comes in.This isn’t about vague promises or fleeting motivation. This is about setting clear, actionable goals and doing the work to make them happen, all while being surrounded by a global community of like-minded leaders who are doing the same.Join the challenge now at www.yourceomentor.com/cyc and let’s do this together! ————————Get the insider edge with the No Bullsh!t Leadership Hub on Skool - completely FREE!Join like-minded leaders who love the podcast and dive into exclusive resources, real conversations, and weekly challenges designed to sharpen your leadership game.Don’t miss out, join now!————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally.
