Avoid costly hiring mistakes! Use these 5 interview questions to expose bullsh!t and find real talent.

We spend a lot of time thinking about how to attract and retain the best people.

But we all know how fickle the hiring process can be… recruiting talent is an imprecise science, which is why you have to get really good at interviewing.

This is where you get the opportunity to meet your potential employees face to face.

The interview is your best opportunity to separate the most talented candidates from the ones who just talk a good game.

In this episode, I give you an interview technique that’s guaranteed to identify the people who have actually done what they say they’ve done, and expose those who are just full of sh!t.

When nothing feels black and white, these principles keep your leadership unshakable!

A lot of the principles I espouse in No Bullsh!t Leadership are quite categorical… in order to convey the principles clearly and concisely, I explain them in a rather singular manner: “Do this! Don’t do that!”

But nothing is that black and white, and the complexity and uncertainty of the environment can erode your confidence and weaken your resolve.

If you want to have a deeper dive into how to be confident in the face of extreme uncertainty, have a listen to Ep.273: It's Never Black and White.

How to spot (and stop) the koalas sabotaging your culture: nepotists, jerks, and ass-kissers.

In Australia, koalas are a protected species. When one of the leaders in our No Bullsh!t Leaders Club started talking about the “koalas” in his company, I knew exactly what he meant.

Working with koalas can be infuriating. They don’t play by the same rules, or observe the same cultural standards as everyone else. It’s almost as if they’re trying to see how far they can go before someone brings them into line.

And the more they get away with, the more emboldened they become.

In this episode, I explore three different breeds of koala:

1. The founder’s nephew
2. The talented jerk
3. The ass-kisser

I give you some vital tips to deal with each breed, whether they work in your team, or they’re just an annoying peer you have to live with.

AI is coming for your job…or is it?

Right now, boards and CEOs are being sold the dream that AI will replace thousands of people, slash costs, and magically boost profit.

Meanwhile, leaders like you are stuck in the middle, trying to keep customers happy and deliver real results with tools that are still hallucinating and half-baked.

So how do you cut through the hype and work out what is actually useful for your team, your customers, and your career?

In this episode, I’m joined by AI strategist and product expert James Killick. James has been working with AI long before it was cool, helping businesses weave it into real products and real workflows, not just shiny demos.

We get into questions that are front of mind for every modern leader:

• How reliable is AI really, and when should you absolutely keep a human in the loop?
• Why 80 to 90 percent of corporate AI initiatives are failing, and how to avoid being one of them
• What AI will automate first, and what will remain uniquely human for much longer than people think
• How to become an AI orchestrator who manages both people and AI agents to get better results; and
• The single biggest mindset shift you need if you want to stay relevant in the AI era

We also talk about very practical stuff: Which parts of your business to tackle first…how to train your people without turning them into rogue prompt cowboys...and how to use AI to dramatically increase your speed and impact, without handing your brain over to the machine.

If you are a leader who wants to use AI to amplify your edge rather than erase it, this episode is for you.

****** James has put together an INSANELY valuable free resource for our listeners, which you can check out here! ******

Is your team pushing back? Uncover upward bullying and take control as stronger leader.

We hear a lot these days about work-related anxiety, which can easily lead to claims of bullying and harassment.

But we rarely hear about the impact this has on leaders like you, who bear the brunt of people’s personal problems in the workplace.

For many companies, the explosion in stress-related claims has pushed them to pursue more conservative HR policies, playing right into the hands of the small but powerful minority who are happy to engage in upward bullying.

If you want to go deeper on how to deal with passive aggressive resistance from below, have a listen to Ep.345: Upward Bullying.
