    Jul 15 2025

    How to handle pay reviews, bonuses, talent retention, and asking for a raise.


    Last week, we released a bumper episode on remuneration — Ep.358: How to Pay People Properly. How do remuneration packages work? What’s involved in the different types of incentive payments? How is each pay component evaluated?


    Having built the foundations, in this episode I take it to the next level by walking through 5 practical scenarios that you’re likely to face as a leader when you’re making decisions about people’s financial rewards.


    Scenario 1: Handling annual salary reviews

    Scenario 2: Using financial incentives to secure rare talent

    Scenario 3: Using KPIs to determine short-term bonus payments

    Scenario 4: Locking in a potential flight risk

    Scenario 5: How to ask for a pay rise


    Gaining a better understanding of these situations, and knowing how to handle them will massively increase your confidence for the conversations that inevitably follow!

  • Moment 129. Keeping Your Ambition in Check
    Jul 13 2025

    Ambition isn’t bad - here’s how to harness it without burning out.


    There are plenty of people who will tell you that ambition is inherently bad. But without ambition there would be no innovation, no invention, and no progress.


    So don’t be misled by people who tell you that ambition is bad or undesirable.


    The trick is to learn how to manage your ambition so that it becomes a source of infinite good for you, and for those around you.


    If you want to go deeper on how to manage your ambition in a healthy way that produces long-term satisfaction, have a listen to Ep.156: Managing Your Ambition.

  • 358. How to Pay People Properly: Your No Bullsh!t Guide to Remuneration
    Jul 8 2025

    The biggest cost item on most P&Ls is labour. You’ll probably spend more money this year paying people than you will on any other operating expense.


    But do you know what you’re paying for? And do you know how to get the most from this major investment of your company’s resources?


    We’ve had several questions from the leaders in our current cohort of Leadership Beyond the Theory on the relationship between remuneration, motivation, and performance.


    That’s why, in this episode, I’m going to give you a definitive overview of how remuneration works. It gets pretty complicated in parts, so to make it easier, we’ve produced a free downloadable PDF (it's 13 pages, we didn't leave anything out), which has the complete remuneration guide


    Let’s face it, you’re making decisions that affect people’s livelihoods, so it’s important you know what you’re doing.


    From base salary, to STI’s…from long-term share options to sign-on bonuses…My goal is to completely demystify remuneration for you, so that you can be more judicious about how you apply financial rewards!

  • Moment 128. Should You Be a Servant to Your People?
    Jul 6 2025

    Is servant leadership helping - or hurting - your team’s performance? Here’s the truth.


    The concept of servant leadership isn’t new. It departs from traditional leadership models by shifting the focus from the organisation to the people who work for it.


    But is this a good idea?


    Can your team still perform at its peak if you divest the accountability of your position?


    Or is this noble sounding theory more likely to lull you into a false sense of security, which ultimately damages your team’s ability to thrive and grow?


    If you want to go deeper on the myths surrounding servant leadership, have a listen to Ep.109: Servant Leadership.

  • 357. The Business Research Scam No One Talks About: What should you believe?
    Jul 1 2025

    We have a deep fascination with the research that’s pumped out of the world’s top business schools. But are the findings as bankable as we’re led to believe?


    The number of academic research papers that have been retracted due to faulty or manipulated data has blown out massively over the last several years.


    More than ever, you have to be careful what you believe. The trick, though, is not to throw the baby out with the bathwater…how can you tell what’s genuine and what’s not?


    In this episode, I give you three tips for working out how to apply authentic, well-founded business research in your context…and, more importantly, how to spot the findings that you should take with a grain of salt!

  • Moment #127: Your People See Everything
    Jun 29 2025

    Moment #127 It’s easy to fall into the trap of “do as I say, not as I do”, which is why it's important to be aware of any mixed messages you might be sending.


    Your people watch your feet, not your lips! They see every little inconsistency between your words and your actions, so self-awareness is everything.


    If you want to go deeper on how to be congruent, not hypocritical, have a listen to Ep.191: Are You a Hypocritical Leader?.
