Episode #326 // Yes I'm talking about Tom Brady again in this episode BUT DON'T KEEP SCROLLING! This episode is an absolute must-listen!!

As you know, I occasionally take a leadership example from the world of professional sport, but it’s rare to see one of the greatest sportsmen of all time talking in detail about what makes a team great.

I came across an article in Harvard Business Review, which fuses together the worlds of professional sport and business leadership to give us some indelible lessons on how to build excellence into team culture.

We know that there will always be exceptional individuals, in every field, who rise up to become the focus of our attention, our admiration and – yes – even our criticism.

But no individual can be truly successful without the right team around them, providing the foundations of support that enable them to achieve amazing things, individually.

Today’s exploration into the principles of building a winning team, from a man widely considered to be the GOAT (the greatest of all time), offers some invaluable lessons in how to make your team really hum.

Episode #96 // Every organization talks about performance – but not every organization is serious about it. When push comes to shove, many companies simply aren’t prepared to do the basic things that would deliver high performance.

What are the telltale signs that the culture you’re a part of isn’t serious about driving performance… despite all the rhetoric to the contrary?

If you want to go deeper on this silent performance killer, have a listen to Ep.239: Leading in a Low Performance Culture.

Episode #325 // I’m sure you hear me talk frequently about value creation. As a leader, your primary objective above all else is to deliver value. How you do that depends on your context.

One of the key principles that enables this razor-sharp fixation on value is simplicity and focus. Simplifying your company's objectives, its work program, and its customer value proposition is a complex and difficult process – but if you can get it right, it opens the door to greatness.

In this episode, I lay out a number of examples from the overwhelming body of knowledge that supports the principle of simplicity and focus. How can you use it to discover and develop your superpower, the one thing that matters most?

I begin with a look at some of the most interesting published work on how to use simplicity and focus to maximize strategic value. I give you a real world example of a company that I worked for that had its superpower absolutely nailed. And I finish with some tips for evaluating where your own team is right now, so that you can identify and develop its unique superpower.

Moment #95 // Working successfully in complex organizations requires collaboration. But you shouldn’t sacrifice strong accountabilities for the sake of collaboration.

When you don’t structure your team’s work program around single-point accountability, it’s hard to know who’s doing what.

Accountabilities become opaque, confused, and misunderstood… and performance suffers accordingly.

Most of the epic fails I witnessed in my corporate career were the consequence of shared or unclear accountabilities.

Moment #94 // During my corporate executive career, not working at the right level was probably the most common problem that I saw holding leaders back, and it happens at every level – from front-line supervisors to CEOs of major companies.

Most leaders say they want to delegate more… to give their people more responsibility, and not have to do so much themselves… but even before those words have passed their lips, they manage to shoot themselves in the foot.

In this Moment, I give you my top tips for making delegation stick.

If you want to go deeper on this critical leadership capability, have a listen to Ep.211: Successful Delegation.

Episode #323 // Last week, we launched our No Bullsh!t Leadership Hub community, and it’s already firing on all cylinders.

For those of you who have joined, you may have answered the initial survey questions, some of which highlight the common problems that every leader faces.

One comment in particular, which was articulated beautifully by Sarah, really hit home. She said, “I think a big leadership challenge right now is capturing and communicating the nuances of what is slowing down progress, as well as utilizing data to set realistic goals.”

This is a great observation, and one that I see many leaders struggling with right now. So today, I pull it apart a little. This super practical episode is loaded with specific advice that you’ll want to bookmark and keep coming back to, including:

• 10 common root causes of slow progress, unexpected delays, and missed targets;
• 6 techniques for uncovering hidden bottlenecks; and
• My foolproof 4-step process for understanding and communicating delays, and resetting expectations with your stakeholders.

Moment #93 // Middle management jobs are the toughest jobs in any organization. You’re effectively the meat in the sandwich, and the senior leadership might see you as just another person in the concrete layer.

You get pressure from above, and resistance from below, creating incredible dissonance. This can increase your stress levels to the point where you’re downright miserable.

How do you rise above the concrete layer? How do you make your objectives clearer? How do you stop the never-ending tug-of-war between the allegiance you have to your boss, and the support you want to give to your people?

If you want to learn how to remove the dissonance-induced stress from your middle management role, have a listen to Ep.74: The Curse Of the Middle Manager
