Stay ConnectedNo Bullsh!t Leadership is a podcast for leaders who want to become truly exceptional. 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. Step away from the theoretical view on leadership, and learn from a successful CEO who’s already walked the path.

Episode #240 // We’ve all come across people during our careers who are really good at what they do, but are just awful to work with. They seem to think that their superior performance gives them the license to behave in any manner they see fit, and they don’t observe the usual social protocols that are essential in maintaining a stable team.
Talented jerks come in many different shapes and sizes: there’s no one-size-fits-all description of how they show up in a team. Some are just terminally annoying, and you feel as though you want to roll your eyes every time they talk.
Others are willfully destructive, and appear to be pushing the company’s leadership to see just how far they’ll be allowed to go before they’re brought into line.
Today’s episode is pretty simple: I identify five common types of talented jerk, and give you some ideas for how to approach each situation so that you remain in control, and neutralize their impact on team culture.

Moment #8 // If you need to be liked, and you have aspirations of being a leader, you’re going to find yourself in trouble pretty quickly. Virtually everything you do as a leader puts you into a potential conflict situation.
Seeking popularity will stunt your leadership growth, dull your decision-making, and feed your tendency to procrastinate. Popularity doesn’t matter… respect does, which is why you need to be comfortable with the concept of doing hard things that may make you unpopular. You can take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Episode 206: It's STILL Respect Before Popularity.

Episode #239 // The proverbial high performing team has become a leadership cliché, and I can’t count the number of leaders who claim to have built a high performing team (often, despite objective evidence to the contrary).
But what if the culture you’re leading in is actually a low performance culture?We get lots of questions from leaders about the difficulties they have applying basic performance management principles and, more often than not, the root cause is a pervasive, low performance culture.
It can be particularly difficult to swim against the tide in these types of organizations and, as a leader, you have to decide what type of team you want, what type of results you want, and what you want your leadership brand to ultimately stand for.
In today’s episode, I give you a process that will help you to assess your culture for signs of endemic low performance… I explain why it can be so hard to improve low performance cultures… and I give you some tips for where to start if you decide to take on the challenge of leading in a low performance culture.

Moment #9 // Many leaders claim to have built high-performing teams but, in my experience, most can’t even clearly articulate what a high-performing team is! And if you really want to build a high performing team—then there’s going to be some pretty tough leadership work ahead.
Many leaders fall at the first hurdle: high-performing teams are comprised of high-performing individuals: no passengers, no tourists! You can take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Ep.2: Building a High-Performing Team.

Episode #238 // Leadership drives culture, culture drives performance.
Today, we look at a few very common team culture dynamics, and give some perspectives for how you might be able to handle these situations, when you find yourself in the middle of them.
The first is the incredibly common phenomenon of the supposed star performer who ‘manages up’ brilliantly, but doesn’t actually deliver… and the boss is too weak, or too conflict-averse to hold them to account—they’d rather let the rest of the team bear the brunt, as long as the work is getting done somehow.
The second focuses on organizational politics, and how deceptive behavior can be leveraged for advantage by those who concentrate more on politics than value creation.
In this Q&A episode, I give some incredibly practical tips for how to handle each of these situations, including some of the conversations you’ll probably need to have, and the killer questions you can ask.

Moment #8 // Permissive Leaders Make People Unproductive AND Unhappy
I've seen the devastating effects of laissez-faire leaders. They seem to think that if you keep people happy, they’ll naturally give you their best work. In my experience, this is almost never the case. Worse still, these leaders often mistake a constructive culture, to mean you can only say positive things to people.
Make no mistake, there's nothing soft about a constructive culture. It only exists when a leader demands the best from every individual, and is prepared to stretch them to achieve things they never thought they could. You can take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Ep.8: Are Happy Workers Productive Workers?

Episode #237 // If you feel as though you’re struggling to hire the right people at the moment, this episode will rebuild your faith in the process, despite the current labor market dynamics.
Unfortunately, a few poorly-timed or unexpected resignations can leave critical gaps in your capability. And this feels even worse when you place an ad on an online job board expecting an influx of high-quality candidates, only to hear the sound of tumbleweeds sweeping across the tundra.
This can affect your mood, and one of the worrying side-effects of this is that you may begin to feel as though you have to keep all your current employees. You begin to manage your people differently, and lower the standards so you don’t scare any of them off.
This episode covers a huge amount of ground:

Moment #7 // Building a Diverse Organization Isn’t Simple
If it was easy to build a diverse organization, everyone would have already done it. There's a couple of limiting factors that I've learned from experience make this incredibly difficult.
Historical disadvantage, subconscious bias, and a lack of forward thinking all contribute to this vexed problem. So where do you start? You can take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Ep.11: Pale, Male, and Stale

Episode #236 // Have you ever wondered why people who are clearly at the top of their game all of a sudden have a steep decline in performance? Things that they’ve been able to routinely do at an elite level all of a sudden seem to be beyond their reach.
I saw an example of this just recently, where a professional NFL footballer inexplicably lost the plot. His physical abilities were no different after the slump in form as they were prior to the slump. But it looked like his mental state was night-and-day different!
What happens if you have a crisis of confidence in your own leadership? There’s a big difference between having healthy doubts, and having the sort of mental collapse that hijacks your very ability to perform.
In this episode, I discuss those differences, and give you some tactics for dealing with any performance declines so that, at worst, they’re short-lived, and at best you emerge from them even stronger than before.

Moment #6 // Great leaders set an appropriate decision-making culture. People need to know that robust challenge is expected and rewarded, not frowned upon and suppressed. You have to be able to challenge each other, if you want to bring out your best.
This invariably involves some friction… but it’s the only way to bring the often opposing views to the table, debate them, and work through them together. You can take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Ep.20: Make Great Decisions.
