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.
