    8 Surprising Ways to Reduce Unwanted Turnover

    Most leaders think high turnover is a retention problem. But it’s not; it's a leadership problem. And the fix is the exact opposite of what most leaders do. Staff turnover is still widely misunderstood. And most leaders operate from a place of fear, responding to it defensively. They tiptoe around their people, lower the standards, and tolerate poor performance so they don't rock the boat. But, ironically, this is the worst thing you could possibly do for your retention problem.  In this episode I give you my views on how to frame the turnover problem; I look at an article from Harvard Business Review that confirms what great leaders have always known. And I give you a practical framework that you can implement: four things to stop doing and four things to start doing.

    Don't Be Sucked In By Player-Coach Leadership!

    When CEOs cut management layers, they often kid themselves that they're building leaner, faster companies.  But what they're actually doing is destroying accountability and weakening performance. Hiding behind fads like player-coach leadership can’t change that fact. The tech sector loves a management fad and over the years, they’ve tried them all. But the unquestioning adoption (and eventual discarding) of these management trends doesn’t seem to discourage them from trying the next one that comes along. In this episode, I pull this apart from a few different angles. I look at the fundamental misconceptions that drive fads like player-coach leadership; I bring you a view from an industry insider; and I give you a practical list of the 5 questions you should ask before you get sucked into the next manager-free fad.

    Moment 173. Why the Participation Trophy is Killing Your Team

    In business, it’s an indisputable fact that stronger competition results in better outcomes for everyone. Why are we so reluctant, then, to increase competitive pressure within our teams? One of the most critical performance levers of leadership is differentiation between people; and creating a merit-based, competitive environment within your team benefits every stakeholder… especially your people.  If you want to go deeper on how to increase healthy competition in your team, have a listen to Ep.179: Survival of the Fittest ———————— Have you taken our free Leadership Blindspot test? ✨ In just 5 minutes you’ll uncover the hidden leadership habits holding you back.

    Can You Learn Charisma?

    Charisma is sold to us as a divine gift that you’re either born with… or not.  We bandy the word around quite a bit… and even though charisma comes with some negative connotations, most of us wish we had more of it. Describing the things that make up charisma can be difficult: It’s quite an intangible concept, which is why it’s so easy to fall back on observable, physical attributes, like height, confidence, wardrobe choices, and tone of voice. This tells you less about charisma, and more about our deeply ingrained assumptions about what a leader is supposed to look like. In this episode, I dispel the charisma myth, and give you the practical guidance you need to build your charisma; no matter where you feel you are right now, or what your beliefs about charisma were before you pressed play on this episode.

    Moment 172. Too Much Compliance Will Kill Your Culture

    When there’s a failure to comply with the rules, everyone’s first instinct is to look at their compliance regime. They create more rules… more controls… more safeguards… A highly motivated person driven by self-interest will find a way around even the tightest procedure. History has proven that, repeatedly. The key to achieving better performance is strong leadership, clear accountability, and a disciplined approach to work; in short, a great culture.

    Consistent Leaders Get Superior Results

    Your people aren't struggling because the work is hard. They're struggling because they can't predict you. Inconsistent leadership doesn't just frustrate teams; it debilitates them. We all think we’re pretty consistent. And any time we aren’t, we’re expert at rationalising any inconsistencies. The fundamental problem is that we judge ourselves by our intentions, whereas our people judge us by our actions. This is why consistency is critical.  When a leader is unpredictable, the impact on the team is massive. They don't just become frustrated. Their work output slows to glacial speed, as they spend all their time and energy focused on how to manage your expectations, rather than doing their jobs. In this episode I break down the six drivers of consistent leadership, and show you how to build a team that performs with confidence, not one that’s forced to constantly second-guess itself. ———————— Have you taken our free Leadership Blindspot test? ✨ In just 5 minutes you’ll uncover the hidden leadership habits holding you back.
