Essentials of Leadership Series: How to Unlock the Power of Delegation
BASECAMP: LEADERSHIP ESSENTIALS ONLINE Great leadership isn’t about doing everything yourself - it’s about building the people around you to perform at their best. Letting their light shine. Not just your own. Basecamp: Leadership Essentials Online gives you the mindset and practical tools to delegate effectively, coach your team, and lead with more clarity and confidence every day. Take charge of your leadership development with an easy-to-learn, easy-to-retain toolkit you will use for life. Build skills that lift performance, fast-track your impact, and help you lead from any chair. ENROL TODAY: courses.thehumanenterprise.com.au/ -------------------- How to Unlock the Power of Delegation What’s one of the biggest leadership traps you face? Believing that doing more yourself is the fastest way to get results. Yes, sometimes it may be faster in the short term. Yet you’ll never scale to greatness that way. In this episode of The Essentials of Leadership series on Leaders for Life Radio, I have a conversation with Trish Pegorer, Managing Director of Mutti Australia, to explore one of the most critical - and often misunderstood - leadership skills: Delegation. Trish describes herself as a “Champion of People and Projects of Purpose”. And that philosophy comes to life in how she leads, builds teams, and creates space for others to contribute. Together, we unpack the real role delegation plays in organisational life - not just as a productivity tool, but as a way to build trust, capability, and long-term performance. This is an authentic conversation about what it really takes to move from doing the work to leading and getting the work done through others. Trish shares insights on: • Why control and insecurity can get in the way of delegation • The difference between delegation and abdication • How trust and alignment underpin effective delegation • Letting go of control while maintaining accountability • Creating the conditions for capability, contribution and growth across your team • Creating space to grow yourself, your team and your business If you want your team to step up, you need to step back - in the right way. This episode offers simple, practical shifts you can apply immediately in your leadership. Trish shows that if you want your team to step up, you need to step back in the right way, creating the trust, clarity and space for others to contribute, grow and perform at their best. 👉 If you found this interview helpful, share it with others who are passionate about becoming more thoughtful, human-centred leaders. ---- YOUR LEADERSHIP DIAMOND Get your copy of my #1 Amazon Australia bestselling book "Your Leadership Diamond" today and you'll receive the audiobook (narrated by yours truly) as well as a sample of my second book "Rough Diamonds" FOR FREE.

Key Purpose Indicators
BASECAMP: LEADERSHIP ESSENTIALS ONLINE More than any technical know-how, your ability to inspire people to exceptional performance will determine your effectiveness and define your success as a leader. Take charge of your leadership development with an easy-to-learn, easy-to-retain toolkit you will use for life. Build skills that lift performance, fast-track your impact, and help you lead from any chair. ENROL TODAY: courses.thehumanenterprise.com.au/ -------------------- SUCCESS CAN’T BE MEASURED BY KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS ALONE. WHAT ABOUT MEANING? Right now, many organisations are being asked to do more with less. AI is reshaping roles. Budgets are under pressure. And leaders are being pushed to measure everything. Of course, key performance indicators matter. But Gallup’s latest research found that only 20% of employees worldwide were engaged in 2025. You may have already heard me say that the meaning of life is a life with meaning. And the same goes for business. Is your business meaningful for your people? For your customers? For your suppliers? For society? So how do you measure whether the work itself still feels meaningful? In this video, I explore what are often called key purpose indicators. They are the questions that help you step back and reflect on whether the work matters, whether the relationships around it are meaningful, and whether people feel they are making a difference. Because when we focus only on performance, it becomes very easy to lose sight of purpose. And if you want to go a little deeper on that front, our guide “10 ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP SKILLS FOR LEADERS AT EVERY LEVEL” is a practical place to start. It explores the mindset and skills that help people lead from any chair and contribute more effectively across the organisation.

3 Ways to Strengthen Your Leadership Pipeline
BASECAMP: LEADERSHIP ESSENTIALS ONLINE More than any technical know-how, your ability to inspire people to exceptional performance will determine your effectiveness and define your success as a leader. Take charge of your leadership development with an easy-to-learn, easy-to-retain toolkit you will use for life. Build skills that lift performance, fast-track your impact, and help you lead from any chair. ENROL TODAY: courses.thehumanenterprise.com.au/ -------------------- Recently, I heard a CEO reflect on one of his proudest leadership achievements. It was not a result. It was not a transaction. It was not even a title. It was the fact that when the time came to replace him, the business was able to appoint from within. Not because they avoided an external search. Because he had strengthened the pipeline well enough that they did not need to look outside the business to find someone ready. That he cared deeply, really deeply, about the development of his people. To me, that is what strong leadership development looks like. True servant leadership. So how do you build a stronger leadership pipeline in your organisation, well before a key role opens up? In this video, I share three practical ways to think more deliberately about developing future leaders and building stronger leadership capability and pipeline throughout your organisation. These fundamentals sit at the heart of our guide, 10 essential leadership skills for leaders at every level. Explore the mindset and skills that help people lead from any chair, contribute more effectively, personally grow and be ready to take on ever greater responsibility over time.

ENROL TODAY: http://courses.thehumanenterprise.com.au/ -------------------- Leadership… It all starts with leading yourself What’s the first leadership challenge every one of us must face? It’s not leading a team, setting a strategy, or managing stakeholders. It’s leading yourself. In this next episode of The Essentials of Leadership series on Leaders for Life Radio, I sit down with Nicole Gillard, one of our much loved and respected Consulting Partners at the human enterprise, to explore one of the most important foundations of great leadership: Leading Self. Nicole brings a rare blend of commercial experience, coaching wisdom, and grounded humanity to this conversation. Together, we unpack how mindset shapes behaviour, why self-talk matters more than most leaders realise, how to uncover the values driving your decisions, and why purpose can become your lighthouse when things get tough. Nicole is thoughtful, practical, and deeply real, and comfortable sharing her own insecurities at times. We also explore the role of self-awareness in big transitions, the impact of unconscious bias on how we see ourselves and others, and even what leadership can learn from dance: freedom, expression, adaptability, and working in harmony with others. Listen as Nicole shares leadership insights on: - Building more self-awareness and leading with greater intention - Noticing and shifting the self-talk that may be holding you back - Getting clearer on your values and living them more consistently - Understanding how unconscious bias can shape your leadership - Using purpose to stay energised and resilient through challenge - Leading with more confidence, choice, and authenticity Nicole shares practical, human, and immediately useful ideas for anyone wanting to lead better from the inside out. Small tweaks you can apply before your next meeting, your next decision, or your next tough moment that matters. 👉 If you found this interview helpful, share it with others who are passionate about becoming more thoughtful, human-centred leaders. ---- YOUR LEADERSHIP DIAMOND Get your copy of my #1 Amazon Australia bestselling book "Your Leadership Diamond" today and you'll receive the audiobook (narrated by yours truly) as well as a sample of my second book "Rough Diamonds" FOR FREE.

So how do you minimise regrettable losses in your business way beyond exit and stay interviews?

Feedback may be the breakfast of champions but how do we serve it without being accused of bullying? In this episode, I tackle a sensitive yet critical question relating to accusations of bullying: "There is so much written on psychological safety lately. What have you found that works? I even had a partner say the other day to me, he'd love to give someone some "harsh" feedback (his words not mine) to one of his associate directors but probably won't as he would be accused of bullying. Now that really worried me. What should I tell him?" With legislation and workplace expectations shifting, leaders often feel caught between providing essential guidance and avoiding potential backlash. One way to address this is by using these three key principles for giving feedback that helps people grow without crossing the line. The goal is always to help others shine, not to avoid the tough conversations. What’s your approach to balancing psychological safety with honest communication? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below. It's an important and timely conversation. If you’d like to explore more on building REAL workplace cultures in your leadership development journey, grab a copy of my book Your Leadership Diamond[here](insert link).

This approach won’t solve every issue overnight, but it’s a powerful way to transform unproductive dynamics and channel team energy toward constructive outcomes.

ENROL TODAY: http://courses.thehumanenterprise.com.au/ -------------------- In this episode, I explore a question that touches on one of the most important leadership roles we ever take on—raising our children: "Mitch, you constantly talk about leading in all areas of your life, so here’s a question about kids. What’s been the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given about bringing up great kids?” Over the years, I’ve found that the principles of leadership at home are just as critical as those at work. Leading your family—specifically your kids—may be the most impactful leadership responsibility you'll ever face. Here are two essential ideas for raising confident, expressive children who feel good about themselves. At the human enterprise, we believe in leading in all areas of life—at home, at work, and in your community. That’s why we’ve developed a mini-course called Leading Family, Friends, and Community.

This course allows you to take charge of developing your leadership capabilities through an easy-to-learn and easy-to-retain set of leadership skills that will stay with you for life. That way you'll be ready to lead from any chair! ENROL TODAY: http://courses.thehumanenterprise.com.au/ -------------------- In this episode, I address a common and sensitive issue many CEOs face: managing the dynamics with an overly involved board chair. They are often the same issues faced by any leader who feels disempowered when their manager is giving "instructions" directly to their team. The question comes from a CEO of a startup in the health IT space, asking: "The chair of our organisation is also a major shareholder but I was brought in to run the business. She is constantly involved in operational matters and "calls in" unannounced to chat with the staff anytime she wants. Is this normal?" Over my 40-year career, I’ve identified three types of board members and how their involvement can vary. I’ll share insights into these types and provide strategies to establish clear communication, accountability, and authority to improve your relationship with the board and enhance your leadership effectiveness. Check out the episode to learn how to navigate these challenges and let me know how you handle similar situations in your organisation. Remember, the key is maintaining open lines of communication and clear boundaries. Enjoy the episode and hope it helps... ...and please share it with your friends, colleagues, and leaders who might benefit from these insights. ---- SUBMIT A QUESTION Due to the many requests I get for support of all types, we introduced "Mentoring with Mitch" as a way for you to get your questions answered.

Want to boost your chances of snagging that promotion you’ve been eyeing? In this episode, I break down three "SHOULD DOs" to up your promotion game. Plus, two "MUST DOs" you can't afford to skip. And guess what? It has very little to do with being better at your current role. Here's the question: “I’m one of a number of General Managers who have been told they are potential candidates for the role of CEO of all of APAC. Apart from "making the numbers”, what are some of the best ways you’ve seen or heard of to increase your chances of getting the role?” Over my 40-year career, I’ve coached leaders using these exact principles, and they’ve been blown away by how much it’s boosted their career development. Check out the episode and let me know what’s been your winning strategy. Oh, and one more thing—none of this matters unless you’re authentic and genuinely care.

Click this link to find out how: https://www.yourleadershipdiamond.com -------------------- In this episode, I introduce the concept of setting "lifetime" goals. Goals that you may never achieve. Lifetime goals are different to SMART goals. The purpose of Lifetime goals isn't always to achieve them. It's about who you need to become to achieve them. Here's the question: "I’m a massive goal setter. I love the thrill of working toward my goals and the ultimate sense of achievement when I reach them. However, lately the edge has gone off both writing goals and the realising of them. I think this is because I’ve been unable to complete them due to circumstances outside of my control. How do I get back on the horse?" To better understand Lifetime goals and help you reinvigorate your goal setting, this episode unpacks the difference between aspirational and ambitious goals. You'll learn why both are important and certainly not mutually exclusive. It's always helpful to share some of your Lifetime goals. To put them out in the world. I would love to hear them. ---- SUBMIT A QUESTION Due to the many requests I get for support of all types, we introduced "Mentoring with Mitch" as a way for you to get your questions answered.

Click this link to find out how: https://www.yourleadershipdiamond.com -------------------- In this episode, we go into the psychology of leadership, exploring the unconscious and how our obsessive behaviours can sometimes be a cover-up for our deeper insecurities. Here’s the question: "I’m loving my new role, but the sales function is not running how I believe it should be operating. Sales are still good, and the new Sales Director is a good operator, but I find myself spending much more time in the function, more than I should. I don’t want our standards to slip but there is so much work to be done elsewhere as a relatively new General Manager. Any suggestions?" Many of the ways we behave as leaders are 'masking' unresolved feelings of uncertainty and a lack of clarity about our leadership responsibilities and what it is that we should be doing as leaders. Unable to cope with this, we project it (or judge) onto others to ease our internal tension. That way we don't have to look at our own behaviour. So, think about if you've become obsessed with certain activities that take away from you being the best leader you can be.

Click this link to find out how: https://www.yourleadershipdiamond.com -------------------- In this episode, we touch on career, change specifically, whether to move from a corporate role to a Not-for-Profit (N.F.P.) or For-Purpose (F.P.) organisation. Here's the question: "I love my work, most of the time, but wonder whether this is really my “life purpose”. I have considered changing to N.F.P. work but still need a certain income to pay for an ever increasing mortgage and day-to-day expenses. What can I do to steer me in the right direction?" FP or not FP? That is the question! This often gets down to clarifying our life's purpose. I believe it can change over time and you may have several "purposes" in your lifetime. But whatever you decide to do, you'll be happiest when you align your passion and talent to something that makes a difference in the world. Unfortunately, I don't quite have all the answers here... I can't. What I can tell you is that work is the transference of energy - YOUR energy. And you'll never be able to make the transference if you're not energised and happy. A flat battery cannot start another battery! It's why one of our values at the human enterprise is fun-filled energy. So, before making any big career moves, try these three strategies to get clearer on whether a career change is right for you. ---- SUBMIT A QUESTION Due to the many requests I get for support of all types, we introduced "Mentoring with Mitch" as a way for you to get your questions answered.

He often speaks down to me and points out issues that he’s not raised before in meetings in front of other colleagues. When I have a conflict or some sort with others, he never takes my side to support me. I end up doing most of the work and he takes a lot of credits of mine and upper management is not very aware of this due to the reporting structure. I don’t want to speak bad about him to his boss. Can you advise how I can handle this? I have tried to give him feedback also to build relationships around and it feels like the more I try, the more toxic it gets.” Dealing with an insecure boss can be a formidable challenge and these three tips can help foster a more productive, harmonious and empowering working relationship. Remember, the first step is always to move towards the tension through a respectful and authentic dialogue. I’d love to know your thoughts and hope it helps. ---- SUBMIT A QUESTION Due to the many requests I get for support of all types, we introduced "Mentoring with Mitch" as a way for you to get your questions answered.

Most of my team are very well-skilled and independent. Meetings worked when we were in the same office, yet they seem more difficult to arrange these days. Plus we are all hitting the number, even with a few vacancies, so our time is precious. Are meetings all they are cut out to be?” In this episode, I discuss three reasons why regular meetings remain indispensable for success, even in flexible work environments. The "new normal". Why? Well, the more distant we are from each other, the more we need that sense of connection, certainty and collaboration. Are you building a sense of belonging or bewilderment in your team?

But what does it actually mean and how do we create it? In this episode, I outline the four stages of Psychological Safety as defined by Timothy R. Clark Ph.D. from Oxford. Here's the question from a General Manager in the Sporting Industry: “It's so important to look after the physical safety of sports teams, but more and more with coaches calling the shots, their psychological safety seems to be at risk. Apart from being respectful and developing trust, how do you create “ safe spaces” for athletes to pushback on coaches' decisions at times” It is no overnight solution but if you want to address social friction or the fear of speaking up in your team or organisation, then knowing these four stages of psychological safety is a great place to start. Make challenging the status quo and innovative contributions from all levels the norm in your organisation.

How to make sure you're focusing on what really counts and keeping your MOJO alive (We see MOJO as the combination of MOmentum and JOy). Here's the question we received: "I love my job. I love the people I work with. Yet more and more I'm involved with presentations and activities, that although others see as important, hold little interest for me. In fact, at times, I know I'm coming across as bored. Have you worked with other leaders that feel the same? How do they handle this dilemma?" It's so easy as a leader to get caught up in other people's agendas. Don't do it. You'll regret it. Sure there are some activities you must do from time to time, but if there are too many of them and you're spending too much time doing them, you'll lose your spark.

However with little ability to move up for me personally and having giving opportunities to those under you to grow and develop and they are now well beyond you in terms of influence and almost status what would you suggest I do to continue my own development?" The way I see it there are three options. That of IN, OUT and UP. I'm sure this weeks episode will get you thinking about your own career and how the grass may not always be greener on the other side.

Mentoring With Mitch - Episode 3: Love The One You're With
To watch the original video visit: https://www.thehumanenterprise.com.au/2021/04/26/mentoring-with-mitch-episode-3-love-the-one-youre-with/ ---- What a great question we have this week. In essence, it's "Is a human enterprise possible?". Here's the question: "My aspiration is to build a team and organisational culture that is kind and compassionate, that is high performing and results-driven. Often I am told that it is not possible for these qualities to co-exist. Do you think it is possible, and have you come across any successful (and unsuccessful) examples?" In this episode, I passionately reinforce the idea that you can have a kind and compassionate organisation AND still provide outstanding results. And it starts with servant leadership, a strong connection to a service-based mission and loving the people you work with. Or as Stephen Stills taught us: "Love the One You're With!" I hope you enjoy a couple of key ideas to help you build 'the human enterprise' in your workplace. Enjoy.

Every fortnight, I'll be fielding specific questions from leaders like yourself and posting the answers as videos.

Mentoring With Mitch - Episode 2: Know When To Fold Them
To watch the original video visit: http://www.thehumanenterprise.com.au/2021/03/31/mentoring-with-mitch-episode-2-know-when-to-fold-them/ ---- In this episode, we explore when to "cut your people loose", "let them go", or the best I've ever heard is "free up their career". Here's the question: Whilst acknowledging the process and legal requirements of Fair Work Australia and the cost of recruitment & retraining; what are the triggers that should determine when a manager should continue to persist with an underperforming employee using a Performance Management Plan (or other techniques) to the possible detriment of the rest of the team, or decide to "cut them loose"? If you're truly committed to creating a human enterprise, no matter how underperforming the player, I believe there should always be a part of you that never feels too good about such decisions. How do you lessen that feeling? What do you need to consider before you make such a call? I give you B.A.S.K. - A simple tool from the human enterprise, which you can use to analyse performance gaps. It will also help you feel more certain you are making the "right" decision. The 'right' decision in regards to regulations, the 'right' decision for the individual and the 'right' decision for your team and the organisation. Enjoy.

To watch the original video visit: https://www.thehumanenterprise.com.au/2021/03/17/mentoring-with-mitch-episode-1-stuck-in-the-middle-with-you/ ---- In this first episode of Mentoring with Mitch, I draw on the brilliant work of Barry Oshry to answer the following question: "Working in a large organisation, there are lots of times where upper management requirements and staff needs conflict. Working in middle management can feel like being the meat in the sandwich. Do you have any advice on how to work best with these conflicting needs?" If you sometimes feel like the meat in the sandwich (and believe me, even the most senior leaders experience this) then where you put your energy is essential. In this video, I give you advice on how to manage energy in these situations and also share 3 strategies for speaking with "tops".

Leadership Skills: Four Questions For Coaching
To watch the original video visit: https://www.thehumanenterprise.com.au/2021/02/23/four-questions-for-coaching-leadership-skills-video/ ---- One of your roles as a leader is to develop the other leaders around you. This should be your legacy. And one of the main ways of doing this is through coaching. In this video, I outline the main outcomes to aim for as a coach, either internally or externally. And remember when asking about "the problem", make sure you ask what the "REAL" problem is because so often we are presented with the gap or the symptoms, not the real cause. Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention in the video another good question... "How is the problem being managed?" This beautifully leads to the last question regarding ownership. Have fun. Be proactive. Be an unreasonable friend in your questioning. Enjoy the video. A GENTLE REMINDER - due to the many requests I get for support of all types, this year we are introducing "Mentoring with Mitch".

Interview: "CEO Leadership Lessons" with Hamish Thomson
One of the things I see great leaders constantly do is work on controlling their egos and hubris. As an old "rocker", I believe wholeheartedly in what the Aussie Group Skyhooks sang: "Ego is not a dirty word don't believe what you've seen or what you've heard" Skyhooks It's a part of who you are. It's your ego that got you to where you are now. However, unless you control it, it may also be the very thing that will get you stuck. It may be your undoing. That's why I absolutely love Hamish Thomson's new book It's Not Always Right to Be Right. The title says it all. "But wait there's more!" In the book, Hamish, a seasoned global leadership executive, not only shares invaluable lessons from his 30-year career, but he has also partnered with industry authorities and thought leaders to comment on the lessons within. Like all good leaders, he realised that his opinion is not the only one on the block so he backs this up by asking for others' input. Now that's humility! This episode of Leaders for Life Radio is jam-packed full of Hamish's wisdom on life, business and why it's "not always right to be right". While it's titled CEO Leadership Lessons, there's something in there for leaders from all walks of life and at every level. As you listen, please reflect on where you've been insisting that you're right and perhaps it isn't getting you what you want. Because some people would rather be right than happy. You can learn more about Hamish and his book by visiting his website at www.hamishrthomson.com Alternatively, you contact him via [email protected] His book is now available in all good book stores and online.

Leadership Skills: Four Steps To Grow Your Confidence
To watch the original video visit: https://www.thehumanenterprise.com.au/2020/11/23/four-questions-for-clarity-leadership-skills-video/ ---- One of the key responsibilities you have as a leader is to unlock the potential of those around you. And that often starts with getting them to believe in themselves. There's nothing as powerful as a leader who looks you in the eye and says "I believe in you". But even the best of us can experience a drop in confidence at times. Our self-doubt increases, our negative self-talk increases and our overall results and joy decrease. In this episode, I share four keys to developing your confidence and the confidence of those around you. Enjoy and please share it with any leaders you know who want or need a confidence boost.

As a leader, your job is to provide it. In fact, without it, you could be unknowingly causing psychological stress to your team members. In this video, I overview four words or questions, that if answered, will give you and others the clarity they desire.

To watch the original video visit: https://www.thehumanenterprise.com.au/2020/10/21/dont-start-with-the-end-in-mind-leadership-skills-video/ ---- Don't let what's happening in the world right now determine who you are. Many of us might be blaming these turbulent times for preventing us from reaching our outcomes. That's certainly a normal response. While, yes, so much is clearly out of our control, it's more helpful for you, your organisation and your family to focus on what you CAN control. Here's a way of approaching your goals that might help you shake off that funk. In this video, I challenge the well-known maxim of starting with the end in mind. I parallel the floating of a company through an IPO with floating new parts of your identity using IPO (it's a different mnemonic) to achieve your goals. It's only when we change our identity that true transformation has any chance of succeeding. ---- More than ever your business and your team need you to lead.

Working from home, iso, COVID restrictions, layoffs... they all take a toll on your culture. But keeping culture alive during these times is more important than ever. We may all understand the importance of continually marketing during a downturn, yet many forget to emphasise their "internal marketing" during tough times. Having your "external brand" (Customer Value Proposition) match your "internal brand" (Employee Value Proposition) is what walking the talk is all about.

Setting goals you don't know how you will achieve. Sure S.M.A.R.T. goals may work in the corporate world and for some individual goals. Without some personal "DUM" goals, however, you'll never ever BE who you could BE. Enjoy the video. P.S. Sorry team, I got carried away with setting DUM goals. When I mention S.M.A.R.T. goals I say “reach” instead of "realistic". Guess that's never been where I play. ---- More than ever your business and your team need you to lead.
