Episode 112 of the Dumb Leaders highlights some observations around the retail landscape, as news comes through of even more retailers in trouble with word that at least six national retailers will close up shop prior to the end of the first quarter in 2018.Dumb Leaders in retail, with seemingly little idea on how to compete, are being gapped more and more by retailers who understand what they are doing and how they are doing it. The gap gets wider between the winners and the losers.The thinking that places them where they are now, wont be the thinking that fixes it for them.Hope you take away some value from today’s podcast.Please share with those that you believe may need this podcast.Review, Like and Share.

The Dumb Leaders Podcast - Episode 114What they see in the recruitment stage is replicated if they do take up the offer. If you are too busy for them during recruitment, you’ll always be too busy to coach and develop them.To me there is a stereotype here of a Dumb Leader – The one that believes they are more important than others. The one that always has more important things to do than be with others, attend to others and serves others. For some it’s a power thing, for others its woefully inadequate time management and prioritisation skills and a third set is the businesses that failed in developing ahead of growth and the people are under constant stress in getting their job done.Hope you take away some value from today’s podcast.

#115 The Dumb Leaders Podcast - The Volatile VolcanosWelcome to the Dumb Leaders PodcastAnd what a doozy we have for you. We have labelled this guy, this DL the Volatile Volcano…. Known and feared for intermittent eruptions.Every day we head into the office, wishing for an eruption free day, but often it’s ground hog day again.

#116 The Dumb Leaders Podcast - The Comfort King - The Keeper of the Boys ClubIt’s real. The boys club, or it’s female equivalent, the girl’s army or dyad. At best polarising, at worst completely divisive. They exist in our corporate worlds and in our business networks. They are as real as we want them to be. And they are the domain of the Dumb Leader.The talk on a Monday morning centred around the weekend’s games, as the boys boosted their testosterone levels in relaying the moments of elation and disparity arising from the games.And everyone that was not part of the club, felt isolated and alone. They did not feel part of the team.Hope you take away some value from today’s podcast.

Episode 1-17 of the Dumb Leaders PodcastWe call our leader the Ostrich, and that’s because he prefers to keep his head in the sand. He prefers not to know about anything that may bee seen as bad news – he prefers to not know and only deals with bad news when it is inevitable.When confronted by someone who wants to give him bad news, he tends to get angry and the words JUST fix it or else will come out in some stage of the conversation, or he just refuses to listen and says that is unacceptable – get it done.Sharing a strategy on how to deal with Dumb Leaders like the Ostrich, and this DL who also shoots the messenger.A Better Leadership ProgramThe DUMB LEADERS HANDBOOK – NOW OPENThe library of leadership mistakes for you to learn fromA great conceptOctober 13, 2017 by Curkyt from AustraliaReally looking forward to this growing and helping shape a new generation of leaders.Thanks for your feedback - we appreciate it.

Welcome to the podcast Episode 1-19 of The Dumb Leaders Podcast.Today I am going to share thoughts around a Dumb Leader that we call the power up and talk down leader. Maybe you have experienced a leader like this, a leader who makes them feel big by making you feel small.I’ve experienced the feeling of having someone power up, whether it’s by using intimidation language, whether it’s by talking over the top of me, whether it’s in body language, whether it’s in silent treatment, whether it’s in their actions, whether it’s in their behaviours.They power up, some would say they abuse their power. To them power if the holy grail, maybe you’ve worked with someone like that? Maybe you’ve been lucky and missed that one.A Better Leadership ProgramThe DUMB LEADERS HANDBOOK – NOW OPENThe library of leadership mistakes for you to learn from
