  1. The Invisible Gaps That Stall Leadership Growth

    The Invisible Gaps That Stall Leadership Growth

    Most leaders don't struggle because they're bad at leadership. They struggle because leadership is the only critical job on Earth that people are expected to just figure out (well, that and parenting!). No training. No playbook. No feedback loop. If you've ever thought, "I don't know what I don't know", that's not self-doubt. That's the system working exactly as designed. Most leaders learn by copying what they were exposed to. If your previous bosses were average, chaotic, or absent, that starts to feel normal. And here's the real kicker: most companies are surprisingly resilient to poor leadership. So "doing fine" hides the biggest blind spots. Your team delivers. There's no major conflict. But that doesn't mean you're leading well…it just means the team has adapted to a weak system. You can't replicate what you've never seen. And if you've never worked for an exceptional leader, you're building your approach from incomplete models. In this episode, Em and I break down the invisible gaps many leaders miss...the ones that quietly stall careers, drain confidence, and keep teams performing well below their potential. I'll show you where to look first, and why closing these gaps is the difference between staying stuck and actually breaking through!

    Moment 157. Don't Be Intimidated By Legacy Employees

    Are you struggling to lead older workers? Learn how strong leaders bring out the best in legacy employees. It’s not uncommon to have more experienced workers, who’ve become part of the organisational furniture, reporting to you… and that can be quite intimidating. Even though you may feel like you have to treat older workers differently, you shouldn’t. Just like anyone else on your team, you have to work out how to stretch them, and get the most value possible from their skills and capabilities. Their age is the least interesting thing about who they are, and it’s your job to lead them to give their best. If you want to take a deeper dive into how you can liberate the dormant talent of your legacy employees, have a listen to Ep.242: Leading Older Workers. ———————— Have you taken our free Leadership Blindspot test? ✨ In just 5 minutes you’ll uncover the hidden leadership habits holding you back.

    Truth Doesn't Travel Up: Trust but verify

    Management by Walking Around has often been touted as a critical activity to motivate your people and give them greater clarity.  But we don’t often talk about how valuable it can be in helping you to get a handle on what’s happening below you.  The concept of Management By Walking Around was pioneered almost a century ago, but it’s still as relevant today as it ever was. Your people need to see you; but it’s equally important that you see them. Truth doesn’t travel up. You have to actively pursue it. And, the higher up you go, the harder that is. In this episode, I give you 7 keys to successfully implementing a Management By Walking Around culture in your team.

    Paying the Price of Leadership: 4 Hard Truths Every Leader Must Accept

    It’s easy to talk about the benefits of leadership, but very few people talk about the cost of leadership. There’s a price to pay, and unless you’re willing to pay it, you’ll never be truly comfortable in a leadership role: You will have to make hard decisions that negatively affect people you care aboutYou will be disliked, despite your best attempts to do the best for the mostYou will be misunderstood, and won’t always have the opportunity to defend yourself For each of these costs, I’ll interpret it for the business leadership context, and give some examples of how it plays out. I’ll also give you four tips for embracing the cost, so that you willingly pay the price of leadership, rather than trying to bargain or avoid it.
