No Bullsh!t Leadership

Episode #341 // In this episode, I address a question from Virginie Hoareau, one of our dedicated listeners and Leadership Beyond the Theory alumna. Virginie asked if I could discuss the different stages of a business, and whether a different type of leadership is required for each.How critical is it to match a leader’s style to a business phase? And can any leader be successful in any stage of an organization’s lifecycle? Even though I often talk about different leadership styles, and how they affect your ability to achieve results, I’ve never really addressed how different styles can be matched to different situations.I begin the episode by examining the conundrum between being authentic, and the need to adapt to your circumstances; I talk about each of the three main phases of a business, and the skills required for each; and I finish with some practical tips for understanding which phase best suits your style, and how to develop the capabilities that will make you wildly successful, no matter which phase of a business you find yourself in.————————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 #340 // Every day, you’ll find countless opportunities to get distracted, which could potentially compromise your ability to deliver on the main game.Many years ago, when I was CIO of an insurance company, I used a simple but powerful mantra: whenever someone came up with a bright idea that would potentially add a task to our work program, I brought some perspective by asking the simple question: “Will it make the boat go faster?”Of course, that expression’s not original, and I begin the episode by telling the story of its origins. But the sentiment is clear: will doing this thing take us closer to our singular, compelling goal?In this episode I give you some practical techniques that you can use immediately to sharpen your team’s focus on the things that really matter. ————————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 #339 // I’m often asked, “Marty, how did you manage your career to get to where you are today?”Like everyone else, I had to start at the bottom and work my way up. My journey isn’t particularly remarkable but, like your path, it’s absolutely unique. In my usual No Bullsh!t style, I dedicate this episode to giving you a warts-and-all look behind the glossy headlines of my career – the stuff that podcast interviewers don’t typically ask. I want to give you inspiration and hope: even if your career isn’t well planned, or you make a few poor decisions about which role you should take, it’s not fatal! Your career is long, and bad career moves are forgiven. I’m a living testament to that fact! In this episode, I focus on the key decision points that I faced in critical career moments, and conduct my own personal post mortem on how each of them turned out. I hope this gives you food for thought to help you with your own career decisions. ————————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. 

Moment #109 // One of the most important principles of great leadership is to let go of perfectionism, and instead drive towards excellence… it’s the ultimate application of the 80/20 rule!This implies that failure will be an integral part of your career, so it’s important to work out how to accept failure, without allowing it to dent your confidence. If you want to go deeper on how to use your biggest mistakes to your advantage, have a listen to Ep.301: Bouncing Back From Major Failures. ————————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 #338 // Many leaders find it difficult to keep up with the pace of change. And you may be feeling as though that the world is changing faster than it ever has…  If you pay attention to mainstream leadership theory, you’ll often hear that, if you want to have any hope of keeping up in our rapidly evolving world, you need to change the way you lead. But, do you?The more I see, the more I’m convinced that the fundamental principles of leadership are timeless. Sometimes, though, it’s hard not to get distracted by the latest leadership and business fads - they draw your attention away from tried and tested principles, with the promise of showing you an easier way.In this episode, I look at one of the more recent articles on the changing nature of leadership, from one of the more credible sources. The McKinsey article, The art of 21st-century leadership, gives us a window into what the top leaders around the world are thinking.I also give you a couple of practical examples for how to apply your tried and trusted leadership skills to the new world situations you’re going to face in the 21st Century.What You’ll Learn in This Episode:✅ Why leadership fads are so attractive (and why they don’t last)✅ The timeless leadership fundamentals that never change✅ A breakdown of McKinsey’s latest leadership trends—and whether they matter✅ How to lead Gen Z without falling for the latest corporate buzzwords✅ How to apply core leadership principles to today’s challenges✅ The #1 leadership tool that will always drive team performance ————————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. 

Moment #108 // We often kid ourselves that someone is a high performer when, in reality, they’re just good at one particular aspect of their job.How do you identify your true high performers?
