The #1 performance lever leaders ignore: single-point accountability.

I was recently asked a compelling question by one of the leaders in our Leadership Beyond the Theory community: “If accountability is so critical to performance, why haven’t I come across it before?”

This is a leader who already has an MBA… he’s participated in a variety of leadership courses… and he’s read all the classic leadership books.

The answer stems from the fact that hard things are often avoided in corporate cultures. And, make no mistake, strong accountability can only be found on the road less travelled.

In this episode, I go deep on why your team is probably falling short, and how bridging the accountability gap can fix this.

I give a run down on why single point accountability is the number one driver of execution excellence; I look at the three reasons why leaders (and organisations) are so reluctant to talk about it; and I give you my 5 practical steps for creating a strong, single-point accountability culture – no blame / no excuses!

Entitlement is killing performance - here’s how to reset the standard.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve believed strongly that leaders shouldn’t give into unreasonable or frivolous employee demands, especially if they clearly conflict with the best long-term interests of the business.

This Moment reminds you that your people are there to do a job, not to be entertained and indulged. I also give you the one compelling question that should constantly be in the back of your mind.

If you want to go deeper into how to combat employee entitlement culture, have a listen to Ep.166: Don't Mollycoddle Your People.

Not every high performer wants to lead...here’s how to spot true leadership potential!

It always comes as a surprise when someone we had earmarked for bigger and better things announces that they have no desire to progress.

Our search for talent, and our need to fill the leadership pipeline for our company can deceive us. We occasionally typecast someone who has absolutely no interest in leading.

Halo effect often leads us to overestimate someone’s ability, and their intuitive sense of their own limitations can freeze them in their own fear of failure.

In this episode, I look at why some great employees might not fit our stereotype of ambitious people; I talk about the capabilities that distinguish a rising star from a really good worker; and I give you 8 questions you can ask yourself to work out which is which.

We've also created a free downloadable PDF checklist that you can use to assess your rising stars’ capabilities, so that you can make better predictions about their future leadership success.

Unlock better decisions and protect value by mastering a risk mindset in every situation.

We manage risk in order to protect value. So, you have to understand where the greatest value is, before you can decide what you need to protect.

Eliminating or reducing the severity of a risk can be expensive, so it’s important to take an 80/20 approach to risk mitigation.

Whether you’re making an operational decision, assessing a potential investment, or trying to decide how to go about a manual labour task, understanding the risk is critical.

If you want to go deeper into how you can make sure you aren’t blindsided by an unforeseen event, have a listen to Ep.141: Mastering Risk.

Avoid AI & IT project disasters with 10 proven tips from 40 years of hard-earned lessons.

40 years ago to the day, I started my professional career, when I walked into the State Bank of NSW as a newly minted trainee computer programmer.

Yep, I was actually a coder… WAY before it was cool! Since then, I’ve been involved in IT projects of all shapes and sizes.

In this episode, I’m going to get beneath the surface to explore the fundamentals of IT projects, and reveal the root causes that are likely to make the difference between success and failure.

I’ll also give you my 10 top tips for not becoming an IT Project casualty, which will no doubt come in handy for the inevitable influx of AI projects in the coming year.

Nothing’s ever perfect, but many leaders say they are striving for perfection – and they say it like that’s a good thing… they don’t understand the dark side of perfectionism.

In most cases, perfectionism is driven by fear… fear of making a mistake… fear of not being good enough… fear of losing standing with your peer group.

Perfectionism will freeze you. It’s kryptonite for a high-performance culture.

If you want to go deeper into how you can build genuine team momentum, have a listen to Ep.169: The Pursuit Of Perfection.
