No Bullsh!t Leadership

If you put a bounty on dead cobras, you may end up with more live cobras. And if you attach a big bonus to a KPI, you’ll get the same outcome in your business.

If they’re not chosen carefully, KPIs can do more harm than good. Many KPIs are one-dimensional; they’re disconnected from the real value drivers; the targets get lowballed; and (when money’s involved), they’re susceptible to gaming.

In this episode, I look at Goodhart’s Law: When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.

I take you through some cautionary tales, from snake breeders in British Colonial India, to phantom bank accounts at Wells Fargo, and the Qantas saga.

And I give you six simple rules for setting KPIs that drive the results you actually want.

Imagine if one of your people was delivering more value than eight of their peers: leading them the same way you lead everyone else would be a complete waste.

I’ve often said, “Your high performers don’t give you 10% more than the average employee… they give you 200% more.”

But even that grossly underestimates the impact of the highest performers. In this Moment, I give you five ways to ensure you get the most out of your superstars.

If you want to take a deeper dive into how to harness the value of your top talent, have a listen to Ep.315: Getting the Most From Your Stars.

How many times have you sat in a room full of senior people, thinking about making a great point, but never actually speaking up?

In this episode, I show you how to take that step without sounding arrogant, making it personal, or risking your credibility.

You have to do your homework, find a small insight that drives a big improvement, and bring it into the room in a way that gets heard… without putting anyone’s nose out of joint.

Along the way, we’ll have a bit of fun as I tell you about how I became one of the Three Blond Gumbies, the golf tip that added 30 metres to my drive, and my all-time favourite opening line for a high-stakes meeting.

You never know what to expect when mentoring CEOs.

Some run the most boring businesses you could imagine, but they generate enormous value. Other companies may seem sexy on the outside, but struggle to make ends meet.

One CEO watched his revenue fall off a cliff with the stroke of a bureaucrat’s pen.

Today I’m sharing eight lessons from eight years of mentoring CEOs; and you don’t need to be in the CEO’s chair to use them!

It’s everything from strategic clarity, to not getting distracted by shiny things, to backing your talent.
