It's a delicate balance between being true to oneself and the impact this self-expression has on others. What can help are insights from thinkers like Albert Camus and existentialists, links to psychological frameworks by Abraham Maslow, and references modern theories of motivation and leadership to illustrate how our pursuit of genuine authenticity intersects with our responsibilities towards others. This episode promises to challenge your perceptions, offering fresh perspectives on how to lead a fulfilling and ba...

We're exploring the concept of existentialism—a philosophical theory that sees each individual as a free agent crafting their destiny through acts of will. This episode isn't about despair; it's about empowerment. If life is inherently meaningless, then we possess the liberating opportunity to inject it with our unique significance. This perspective isn't just a personal mantra for me, it's the backbone of my leadership coaching and my own journey through life. By understanding core tenets of existentialism, we uncover the tools to...

The Relentless FewCondemned to Be Free: Exploring Sartre's Existentialist Philosophy (S1.22)According to French existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre, despite not creating ourselves and being put here without consent, we do have the ability, I believe it is a responsibility, to make choices and act freely in every situation. Looking around at our society today, I think sometimes we’ve lost that mindset and instead believe things happen to us (and not for us). To me the fact that we can always choose to act our way into being offers limitless freedom and opportunities.Perry Maughmer believes the world deserves better leadership; that in every human interaction there is...

2023-06-121h 05The Relentless FewIs Leadership Overrated? Exploring the Real Value of Management in Organizations (S1.20)Management is what creates value, not leadership. And yet we’ve become enamored by leadership; the vision, the strategy, and the charisma. In the process, we’ve created an ecosystem that supports just one level of an organization to think creatively, come up with unique or interesting ideas, or build the vision of the organization, leaving it to others to implement those ideas. 80% of the important things that happen in a business are management-oriented, which leads me to believe nobody’s job should be to purely lead an organization. In this episode, I’m exploring what happens when we...

The Relentless FewEvolving On PurposeMost of the time, we aspire to chase big, hairy, audacious goals. We want to move far beyond what we’ve done in the past. And yet we don’t allow our future selves to define what those goals are - we think about where we’ve been and set about going in the opposite direction.Evolving on purpose suggests two things; doing something with intention and moving towards a specific end state. To evolve is to be different. Not better, not worse, just different.Perry Maughmer believes the world deserves better leadership; that in every...

The Relentless FewUsing your vision, mission, and values to create leadership guidelines.“Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare” - Japanese proverb.The #1 responsibility of a leader is to teach people how to think (not what to think), and the easiest way to do that is to create a set of guidelines or guardrails with the vision, mission, and values of the organization on one side and the financials on the other.Your leadership philosophy should flow from your vision, mission, and values, be representative of how those things show up in every aspect of your business, and be the guide for how people lead...

The Relentless FewCreating A Life You Don't Want to Retire FromPrior to the late 1800’s the concept of retirement didn’t exist. And it wasn’t until the mid-1900’s that older people were financially compensated for leaving employment - at an age where they had usually outlived the average life expectancy of the time. This antiquated concept of retirement no longer makes fiscal or social sense. In this episode I’m taking a look at the historical and financial impact of retirement and exploring how leaders can intentionally and explicitly create a life they don’t want (or need) to retire from by taking small steps towards the th...

In his book ‘Drive’, Daniel Pink states that workers are motivated by autonomy, mastery, and purpose in their work. And, that money is only a motivator if people have autonomy over the entire work process. In any other situation, money is a performance demotivator.So why, as leaders, do so many of us insist our teams work to arbitrary revenue targets?In this episode, we’re exploring the shift that happens when leaders create a culture and use language that drives behaviors that are focused on the...

Meetings that suck aren’t just a waste of time…they also cost companies billions of dollars in lost productivity.In this episode, we’re exploring how you can redefine meetings in your organization. From getting clear on who can call meetings, training to effectively run and manage group discussions, and how to ensure people add value when they gather together, rather than waste time and energy.

The Relentless FewDon’t Lead Like Ricky BobbyAs leaders, we need to move quickly, but we can’t be fast all the time. And yet our default setting is to move fast, to categorize everything as important and urgent, requiring speed and efficiency.

These actions demand time and effectiveness, not speed and efficiency.

If we always see things through the same frames, then we’re always processing the information in the same way. Because our brain wants to do things as efficiently and quickly as possible, we need to be looking for different ways to challenge ourselves, our thoughts, and our way of being.In this episode, I explore the ideas of, among other things, a growth mindset, locus of control, the power of our beliefs, and manifestation. All ways we can challenge ourselves to think and be different in...

The Relentless FewThoughts On Writing And ThinkingThe traditional mindset around leadership is that good leaders know how to act. Whilst that’s true to a point - leaders do need to take action - I believe more importantly, leaders need to think in order to create strategies or things of value that don’t exist but will improve the value of their organization. Leadership means doing the cognitive heavy lifting, understanding what action needs to be taken, and being in charge of directing others. This requires higher order thinking, including the ability to analyze, evaluate, and create. With that comes the responsibility to asses...
