116 Legacy Created - Legacy Lost - The Drunk Mayor
The Dumb Leaders Podcast
06/26/22 • 8 min
5.0
Leaders are always on show.
That's one of the greatest responsibilities of a leader. Leaders are always on show. Leaders have to understand that because everything they have built will come crashing done with a single error, mistake, or crisis
Take Karen Williams, the Mayor of Redland City, where I live here in Qld. Karen has had a distinguished career in local government, being first elected as a councilor on 2004, before being elected as Mayor in 2012, 2016 and again in 2020. Her legacy should be of one who oversaw a lot of growth in the city in terms of population, and business while maintaining liveability.
Her re-election twice would stand testament to her respect amongst the local community and her popularity as a leader.

The Dumb Leaders Podcast
06/16/21 • 15 min
This week in Australia, the story of Brent Draper, a contestant on MasterChef Australia, pulled out of the show citing mental health reasons.
I don't necessarily want to go into the specifics, except to say that his decision has been lauded as being courageous. In fact one respected commentator said the following:
"My first reaction to his decision was - Bravo Brother. He was courageous enough to admit to the judge that the peer pressure was affecting his sleep, cooking, and pretty much everything.

#112 -Leadership Lessons The Downfalls of Do as I Say & Not as I Do
The Dumb Leaders Podcast
07/28/21 • 6 min
This is something that is understood by very few managers and bosses. Instead, too many people believe that being a leader or a manager makes them infallible – and gives them a kind of supreme authority over their team.
This is why they think it’s okay to utilize a “do as I say, not as I do approach.”

#106 The Collision Between Victimhood, Ego and Self-Delusion
The Dumb Leaders Podcast
05/26/21 • 17 min
Let's start by providing some personal definitions.
Victimhood, when you are telling yourself the story, life is unfair, it's always some else fault that you aren't getting ahead, that the world is fundamentally unfair and you blame the world for your predicament. You are the victim of your own story
Ego - can be healthy or it can be destructive, in this case, the ego and self-centredness is strong, but it's not founded on reality, it's founded on a delusional sense of importance, a delusional look at the value being brought to the world.
Mixed with the ego, is the sense of status. Creation of a job title that sounds important, but in reality isn't as. Calling yourself a senior manager doesn't make you one. Importantly the perception that perks come with title and self-importance, creates entitlement and an expectation.
