When your team gets comfortable and performance slides, that's leadership drift. Here's your reset.In this episode, Em and I give you 7 Ways to Reset your leadership standards, and get your team back on track.Leadership drift doesn't announce itself. It creeps in slowly and quietly until one day you realise your team isn't performing the way it used to, and the uncomfortable truth is that they were following your lead the whole time. Missed deadlines, blame culture, broken commitments, slow decision making…these aren't team problems. They're leadership symptoms.Em knows this firsthand. In the middle of rapid growth and mounting pressure last year, she realised her own people didn't have the clarity they deserved. Not because she was a bad leader, but because she'd quietly told herself that because they were strong, she could ease up. That's drift. And it happens to the best of us.In this episode, recorded live from our Leadership Reset Workshop, we break down exactly what leadership drift looks like, why it's so easy to miss, and the practical steps you can take right now to reset your tone, pace, and standard, without blowing up trust or swinging into micromanagement.Want to join Day 2 of the Leadership Reset, all about resetting your accountability?

Most leaders don't struggle because they're bad at leadership. They struggle because leadership is the only critical job on Earth that people are expected to just figure out (well, that and parenting!).No training. No playbook. No feedback loop.If you've ever thought, "I don't know what I don't know", that's not self-doubt. That's the system working exactly as designed.Most leaders learn by copying what they were exposed to. If your previous bosses were average, chaotic, or absent, that starts to feel normal. And here's the real kicker: most companies are surprisingly resilient to poor leadership. So "doing fine" hides the biggest blind spots. Your team delivers. There's no major conflict.But that doesn't mean you're leading well…it just means the team has adapted to a weak system.You can't replicate what you've never seen. And if you've never worked for an exceptional leader, you're building your approach from incomplete models.In this episode, Em and I break down the invisible gaps many leaders miss...the ones that quietly stall careers, drain confidence, and keep teams performing well below their potential. I'll show you where to look first, and why closing these gaps is the difference between staying stuck and actually breaking through!Sources mentioned:Leadership Blindspots link:Your Leadership Blindspot IdentifierLeadership Beyond the Theory link:Leadership Beyond the TheoryEpisode #380 Don’t Leave Your Leadership Identity to Chance in 2026--------------🚀 NEW FREE WORKSHOP: THE LEADERSHIP RESET Join Marty and Em for a powerful 3 session virtual workshop designed to sharpen your leadership focus, realign your priorities, and set a clear course for success.🎯 Don’t miss this chance to reset, refocus, and lead with impact - Register now————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally. 👉 Doors are open for Leadership Beyond the Theory.

It’s easy to talk about the benefits of leadership, but very few people talk about the cost of leadership. There’s a price to pay, and unless you’re willing to pay it, you’ll never be truly comfortable in a leadership role:You will have to make hard decisions that negatively affect people you care aboutYou will be disliked, despite your best attempts to do the best for the mostYou will be misunderstood, and won’t always have the opportunity to defend yourselfFor each of these costs, I’ll interpret it for the business leadership context, and give some examples of how it plays out. I’ll also give you four tips for embracing the cost, so that you willingly pay the price of leadership, rather than trying to bargain or avoid it.Links mentioned in this episode:YouTube link:Kirby Smart - The Cost of Great LeadershipMoments With Marty Spotify Link:Moment #151: 5 Steps to Reverse a Performance Slump LBT link:Leadership Beyond the TheoryWikipedia links:Kirby Smart————————Have you taken our free Leadership Blindspot test?✨ In just 5 minutes you’ll uncover the hidden leadership habits holding you back.Get your Blindspot Score and know exactly what to fix before it costs your career!TAKE THE FREE TEST HERE————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally. 👉 Doors are open for Leadership Beyond the Theory.

Resilient leadership isn’t about toughing it out, it’s about staying calm under pressure. Every leader likes to think they’re highly resilient. But many lack composure in high-stress situations (and also the self-awareness to admit it).Resilience is about regulating your own behaviour. But if you’re a leader, the real acid test is whether you have the mental, emotional, and psychological strength to support your team, so that they remain as calm as you do.If you want to take a deeper dive into how you can achieve Grace Under Pressure faster, have a listen to Ep.228: Resilience Myths.————————FREE 5 DAY LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE: Want to boost your leadership capability?

Leadership vs management: why great leaders must also manage to make better decisions. While the debates about leadership and management continue to rage, the truth is that they’re intrinsically linked: they live on a continuum, in a spectrum of subtle gradients.You can’t be a great leader unless you’re a good manager. And the converse is also true: you can’t be a great manager unless you’re a good leader.It’s complete nonsense to portray leadership and management as inherently good or bad.If you want to take a deeper dive into how you can integrate your management and leadership skills, have a listen to Ep.267: Management v Leadership.————————FREE QUIZ: I’ve developed a 3-question quiz that’ll give you a free personalised podcast playlist tailored to where you are right now in your leadership career!Click here to take the 30-second quiz now to get your on-the-go playlist————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally. 👉 Doors are open for Leadership Beyond the Theory.

You worked hard in 2025. The real question is whether any of it actually mattered.Most leaders roll straight into a new year without ever stopping to review the last one properly. They plan harder, set bigger goals, and hope things improve. That’s how you end up repeating the same mistakes with a fresh calendar.In this episode, I walk you through a clear, no BS review of your leadership in 2025. Not the highlight reel, the real story. Where you actually delivered value, where you stayed busy instead of effective, and where you quietly avoided the tough stuff you knew you should have dealt with.You’ll be challenged to look at how you really performed under pressure, not how calm you looked on the outside, but what was happening internally when things got hard. I also dig into accountability, because standards don’t collapse overnight…they erode one missed conversation at a time.From there, the focus shifts forward. You’ll learn how to set a single leadership theme for 2026 and define the one achievement that would genuinely change your career trajectory if you could put it on your CV at the end of the year.This isn’t about motivation or feeling good heading into January. It’s about clarity, focus, and doing the work that actually counts! If you want 2026 to be meaningfully different from 2025, lock in on this one. ————————FREE QUIZ: I’ve developed a 3-question quiz that’ll give you a free personalized podcast playlist tailored to where you are right now in your leadership career!Click here to take the 30-second quiz now to get your on-the-go playlist————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally. 👉 Doors are open for Leadership Beyond the Theory.
