Moment #26 // Of the many mistakes that new leaders are prone to make, over-functioning for certain individuals is one of the most common, and the most insidious.

Excellent leaders give their people clarity of purpose, resources, coaching, and autonomy. They lead people to do their jobs—they don’t do their jobs for them.

You can take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Ep.172: Stop Doing Your People's Work, or by reading my article in Harvard Business Review.

Building a Better Mousetrap: The productivity reality

Episode #255 // Ralph Waldo Emerson once said: “Build a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door!”. This quote, espousing the value of innovation, has been liberally used and abused over the years.

I came across it again recently in an article from McKinsey: Turning Around the Productivity Slowdown... so, what is productivity? And what’s the relationship between productivity and innovation?

In today’s episode, I look at productivity from a number of different angles. What does it mean in the world of macroeconomics? How does productivity impact our standard of living?

On a day-to-day level, what does it mean for your type of industry and organization? Can productivity provide a competitive advantage?

It doesn’t matter what type of organization you’re leading in, improving productivity will reap huge benefits for all your stakeholders... including the people who work for you.

But, getting your head around why you should have a constant focus on productivity improvement can be a little tricky... hopefully this episode will help.

Barriers to Building Emotional Intelligence with Dr Rebecca Heiss

Episode #256 // The concept of EQ isn’t new. It was the subject of academic research way back in the 1960s, but it took another 30 years before we gained widespread awareness of it through Daniel Goleman’s classic book, Emotional Intelligence.

These days, we have fairly robust tests to measure a person's EQ, and I would never hire a senior executive without having them take those tests... it’s not the be-all-and-end-all, but it does provide another data point to calibrate the observations you make in other parts of the recruitment and selection process.

What are the barriers to building your own EQ? To deal with this question, I’ve enlisted the aid of Dr Rebecca Heiss, who’s an expert in all things human behavior and leadership. Her book, Instinct, is all about how to rewire our brains to remove some of the barriers to success.

This fascinating discussion may help you to break through some of the barriers that are holding you back.
