Episode 140 // In this week’s Q&A, we’re going to cover two questions about the subtle art of managing upwards and how to deal with a passive aggressive boss.
We do get an awful lot of questions about how to deal with those leaders above you, so much so that we’re actually planning out a mini-course about it!
In the meantime, the two questions we’ve chosen for this episode cover the main issues that we see. The first question from Genevieve is about how to influence upwards when you feel as though you don’t have any basis for doing so, and the second from Chris is about working under a passive aggressive boss.
We cover a lot of ground in this one, dialling it right down to the practical questions you can ask your boss today to better influence up the line. If you've got a horrible boss, this episode is going to give you the perspective and practical tips you need to move forward with confidence!

Episode #139 // This week we take on a great listener question that will be on many people’s minds at the moment.
Fear has been stoked to extraordinary levels during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the subsequent impact of lockdowns and travel bans on many businesses has been severe. Many people are living in fear, as they see their companies struggling to survive, and are faced with the harsh reality of their own lack of job security.
What impacts are felt when individuals operate from a position of fear? What can we do to keep our fear in check? And what are the techniques for helping the people around us to keep going, so that we don’t see catastrophic impacts at the organisational level?
This episode offers some practical guidance for dealing with the fear that we all feel at times like these.

Episode #138 // I recently had a robust after-dinner discussion over this old expression. It’s often said by someone who’s trying to explain the reasons behind another person’s success. And, yes, it’s designed to somehow diminish their achievements.
It implies that learning and knowledge are inherently more noble and worthwhile than building relationships… or perhaps there’s an element of favoritism or nepotism at play… or that anyone who leverages their connections is (at best) taking a shortcut and (at worst) doing something vaguely distasteful.
This episode explores why the attitude that it’s not WHAT you know, it’s WHO you know can be damaging, and takes a deep dive into some of the key areas that will really determine the level of success you enjoy, in any area of your life.

Episode #136 // How do you know when it’s time to leave an organisation?
Like almost every question in leadership, the answer is - it depends. Every situation is completely different, and only you know the factors that affect you: the workplace culture, your personal circumstances, the impact your boss has on you, and your ultimate career aspirations.
But wouldn’t it be great to have a framework that could help you make smart decisions whenever you face a career dilemma?!
This episode provides that framework, and some scenarios to help you figure out how to apply it.

Episode #135 // Is there such a thing as “too much empathy”? Despite what many pundits say, I believe that there’s a place for almost limitless empathy in a leader. The more you have, the better you’ll be able to lead your people.
The risk is that weak leaders often allow their empathy to devolve into sympathy, which is a very different thing.
If you combine empathy with the right leadership behaviours - strength of character and uncompromising standards - it will build the foundations for everything you need to do as a leader.
In this episode, I take a critical look at the nexus between empathy and sympathy. If you’re aware of this distinction, you’re more likely to resist the temptation to become a weak leader who rationalises, avoids, and freezes when faced with difficult choices.

Episode #134 // Have you ever been told that you need to be “more strategic”?
t can come as part of the dreaded post-interview feedback, when you find out that you haven’t got the job, or in a talent management discussion when your boss tells you that you aren’t seen as someone who might rise to the next level.
Telling someone that they need to be more strategic means… well, nothing!
This episode explores what your boss really means when she says “you need to be more strategic”, and I give my 6 top tips for becoming more strategic (with some work and commitment, over time).
I've put these 6 tips into a FREE downloadable PDF so that you can keep it on hand to reference at any time! Head to www.yourceomentor.com/episode134 to get your hands on it!

Episode #133 // INTERVIEW
After 130-odd episodes of me giving my two-cents worth on all things leadership, we’re starting to introduce the occasional interview with a leader who has really made a difference in the world.
In this episode, I interview Luc Robitaille, President of the Los Angeles Kings National Hockey League franchise. After a 20-year career as an elite athlete in one of the toughest sporting arenas on the planet, Luc made the successful transition to corporate executive ranks.
We all face difficulty when we transition to an unfamiliar role, especially when moving from a technical role to a leadership role. Luc goes into the nitty-gritty of how he did this: the challenges and the triumphs.
There's a lot of talk in business about the concept of world class performance, and today, we'll give you some insight into what that actually means!
You don't want to skip over this episode, Luc drops gem after gem that you can apply as a leader in any industry!

Episode #132 // There are many variables that have an impact on what a CEO role entails at a given point in time - industry, company size, maturity of the business, external market forces, customer segmentation, ownership structure etc.
On top of this, every day can be vastly different, which is why some of the most important attributes for a CEO to possess are adaptability, change tolerance, and mental agility. Add to these the ability to communicate and align the organisation around a compelling value proposition, and you’re starting to get close!
This episode explores both the theory and the practice of the role of the CEO. I share my views on the non-negotiable outcomes that are relevant to every CEO role, and I also give you a “Day In the Life Of” as I reflect on my time as CEO of CS Energy.

Episode #131 // I run into leaders all the time who struggle with the personal impact that a leadership role has on their lives. It can be emotionally draining, and it can have far reaching impacts through every aspect of their lives.
To be a successful leader in the longer term, and at the most senior levels, you first have to learn how to manage yourself. As they say during the airline safety briefings, “if oxygen is required, fit your own mask first before assisting others”.
Strong leaders are strong people - strong enough to shoulder the duty of care that comes with a leadership career, and equipped to help others develop.
This week, we look at the common types of fallout that many leaders experience, and provide seven practical tips for dealing with the emotional toll of leadership.
We've also created a FREE PDF downloadable summary that wraps this all up in a nice bow for you, which you can download at www.yourceomentor.com/episode131
