Communication skills are a hot topic in leadership, and are often one of the most sought-after skills for leaders. However, we don’t usually dig much into what good communication means.

Trust is important in leadership. After all, it’s tiring and stressful when people are questioning our motives all the time. But we can’t just ask people to trust us. We need to show up as being trustworthy. Otherwise, we’re just the person who says “trust me”, with nothing to back it up. And you don’t trust people like that, do you? Like the Show?

I’ve noticed that leaders in many organisations like to send people on training without too much thought. Unfortunately, usually this results in a lot of wasted time and money, even though it may seem like a good idea at the time. To help with this, in this episode I take a look at 3 simple questions to answer to improve the chances of the training being useful and worth the expense! Like the Show?

Managing by exception is a style of management that emphasises escalation of only significant issues to leaders in an organisation. It is often seen as a way to free up a leader’s capacity, because they are only involved when there is a challenge to be overcome or a significant decision to be made. I’m naturally skeptical about “silver bullet” leadership approaches, so in this episode, I take a look at this style of leading, along with the benefits and potential pitfalls, so you can see how this might suit your situation.

Working for an insecure manager is no picnic. Many people react to this situation by fighting. Trying to prove to their insecure boss that they are superior and capable and don’t need to be controlled. Unfortunately, I’ve never seen this work.

In the book “Legacy” about the New Zealand All Blacks Rugby team, the concept of “sweeping the sheds” is raised. That is – even leaders should pitch in and do the small things, rather than considering them to be beneath their station. So is sweeping the sheds good leadership? When should you do it, and when should you avoid it? I discuss these questions in this podcast episode. Like the Show?

One way that we can help to set a good foundation for our leadership is to understand our core values. Our core values help us to understand what drives us, what we stand for and what we won’t. They can also help us to identify the situations and environments where we are more likely to feel satisfied, content and motivated. In this episode, I take a look at why our values are so important, what we can use them for and how to figure out what yours are. Like the Show?
