Each week, your host, Wall Street Journal Bestselling author Martin G Moore, shares the secrets of high performance leadership; the career accelerators that you can’t learn in business school, and your boss is unlikely to share with you.

Episode #310 // Over the last several months, a lot of leaders have told us that their companies are hunkering down, in a virtual promotion freeze… so, we poked around to see if there was any data to support these anecdotal observations, and came across an interesting statistic.
According to Bloomberg, of the 68 million white collar workers in the US, only 1.3% were promoted in the first quarter of 2024 — the lowest percentage in 5 years.
At times like these, it’s even tougher to stand out, which is why we decided to run a free 3-day bootcamp, 10x-ing Your Promotability, where I outlined my three fail proof strategies to deal with an ultra-competitive labor market.
In this episode, we replay Day 1 of the Bootcamp, which covers the first strategy — Elevate Your Leadership Presence.
Apart from a few interesting stories from my own career, I covered why your leadership brand is so important… and I gave you a practical tool to help you clarify and communicate that brand to the people around you.
If you’d like to get your hands on the tool, you can download it at www.yourceomentor.com/episode310.
You're still doing the work your team should own. And you can't see a way to stop.
Leadership Beyond the Theory is 9 weeks of practical reps that get you out of the weeds and hand delivery back to your team.
Taught by Martin Moore, who ran a multi-billion dollar company before he taught any of this. 3,000+ leaders. 99% would recommend. 100% money back guarantee.

Moment #80 // Hiring really good people has always been hard. There’s serious competition for talent in many industries, and limitations in your potential candidate pools that arise from your geographical footprint, your industry, and the public perception of your brand.
But, even when you do get the right people to turn up at your front door, there are factors at play that may prevent you from achieving the best hiring outcome.
How do you ensure that you’re getting access to the best talent, and working out who’s the best fit for your team?
If you want to take a deeper dive into how you can manage these complex issues, have a listen to Ep.237: Hiring Better People.

Episode #309 // We rarely do interviews on No Bullsh!t Leadership. But when Patrick Lencioni’s team reached out to us earlier this year, we jumped at the opportunity to have him join us on the podcast.
Patrick Lencioni is a global thought leader, who has established himself as one of the preeminent thinkers of our generation in the field of leadership and organizational behavior.
Pat has written more than a dozen books, which are incredibly easy to absorb and apply – some of the most practical content you’ll find. His seminal work, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, has sold over 3 million copies, making it one of the highest-selling business books ever written.
With such an impressive body of work, which he adds to every week with his two podcasts, At the Table and Working Genius, it was hard to know where to start. I decided to have an open conversation with Pat about some of the key issues that are facing leaders in 2024 and beyond.
Our conversation went for well over an hour, so this episode is the first part of the interview, where we discuss hybrid work and courage in leadership.

Moment #79 // Over the course of your leadership career, you’ll deal with people from all walks of life, many different cultures, and a range of socio-economic backgrounds… and you’ll see just about every dimension of human frailty.
As part of this melting pot,you’ll lead many people who have substance abuse and mental health issues. Learning to recognize and deal with these (without crossing a line) is often incredibly difficult.
If you want to take a deeper dive into how you can manage these complex issues, have a listen to Ep.97: Addiction in the Workplace.

Episode #308 // It’s pretty rare that you’re faced with a decision that’s final or irreversible. And when one comes along, it’s normally pretty easy to recognize — you can sense the gravity of the moment, and the potential consequences that lie ahead.
But, as I look back on my experiences, some of the most significant decisions I’ve ever made, in terms of my life direction, didn’t seem to be that big a deal at the time. I made them using a liberal dose of gut feel, not suspecting for a moment how consequential they would ultimately turn out to be.
I recently had occasion to think about one of the most pivotal moments in Emma’s life, which also had a profound effect on mine. For those of you who don’t know, Em is my daughter. She’s also the producer of the No Bullsh!t Leadership podcast, and CEO of our business, Your CEO Mentor.
I was reflecting on the path that led us to where we are now, and it took me back to a brief but pivotal moment which, to tell you the truth, could have gone either way.
This episode is packed with examples, including Em’s story. I hope that it helps you to recognize these unexpected moments when they arrive in your career, and to respond accordingly.
You can never know, at the time, how critical these decisions will be… which is why you have to be prepared for every moment!

Moment #78 // Most successful founders face a problem as their business grows: the attributes that made them successful in the first place (e.g. innovation, hard work, tenacity, sales skills etc.) become obstacles to future performance.
Many unintentionally create a family culture. This might feel really nice, but it’s often mutually exclusive with the disciplined, constructive culture that ultimately underpins exceptional performance.
Whether you’re a business owner, or just trying to work out how to improve your team’s performance, don’t let a family culture impede your success.
If you want to take a deeper dive into how you can avoid the performance pitfalls of a family culture, have a listen to Ep.76: The Family Affair and Ep.180: The Family Culture.

Episode #307 // There’s a lot to be said for having confidence. It’s an essential ingredient for any leader who aspires to lift their people to greater heights.
Without confidence, it’s difficult to effectively execute on even the most fundamental tasks that competent leadership requires.
Confidence is incredibly valuable… and you can’t fake it!
But, I feel as though it’s been getting a bad rap lately — confidence comes with a range of negative connotations, and those who are less confident often mistake it for insincerity, bluster, or even the inappropriate use of power.
My observation, made over many years operating at the highest levels, is that confidence is an essential ingredient of high performance leadership.
This is why it’s so important to focus on your own level of confidence, to understand what you need to do to increase it, and to know how to keep the dark side of confidence at bay.

Moment #77 // We’re all driven, to a greater or lesser extent, by unconscious biases. These invisible forces hijack our cognitive processes, and impair our decision-making capacity.
The only way to break free from the bonds of unconscious bias is to develop an acute awareness of the ones that affect you… especially when the pressure is on!
In this Moment, I look at five of the most common biases that I see play out, even in the most intelligent, capable, experienced executives I work with.
If you want to take a deeper dive into how you can avoid the fallacy of subconscious bias, have a listen to Ep.192: Avoiding Common Biases.

Episode #306 // I’ve always been fascinated by people who transcend the limits of human performance, in any field. They lead the way, expanding our perspective on what’s possible and giving us something to aspire to.
When we look at the microcosm of our own team’s performance, we are the ones who get to choose the standard, so it’s useful to reflect on what each of us perceives to be exceptional performance.
Unfortunately, so many leaders bandy around the term “high performance” that it’s at risk of becoming a meaningless cliché.
How do we give ourselves a reality check? What do we use as a benchmark? How do we calibrate our efforts and set our own sights on what we might consider to be superior performance?
Stopping every so often to take a few deep breaths and look at what the best of the best are doing in their quest to achieve world class performance helps us to calibrate our own standards.
In this episode, I take a closer look at some of the truly exceptional performers who have redefined what’s possible — and I give you some step-by-step, practical guidance that you can action immediately, in order to move just that little bit closer to true leadership performance.
