Business Acumen vs Leadership: Which One Drives Performance?
During my tenure as CEO at CS Energy, we took EBITDA from $17m to $441m: we more than doubled the company’s earnings for four consecutive years.Along the way, I had to dig deep into two distinct toolkits: my business acumen, and my leadership capability. When it comes to career advancement, there’s no substitute for building a strong track record of achievement. Performance is the undeniable resume builder. So, in the search for elite performance, what role does each capability play?In this episode, I compare my Magnificent 7 areas of business acumen with the seven pillars of high-performance leadership from my WSJ bestselling book, No Bullsh!t Leadership, and I tell you how important I think each one is.⭐️⭐️⭐️LEADERSHIP BEYOND THE THEORYIf this episode landed, you already know where the 60% sits.

Power Doesn't Corrupt: It Reveals | Moment 190
Some leaders remain uncorrupted, despite the fact that they move into increasingly powerful positions.But there are others who, at every turn, leverage whatever power they have to further their own self-interest.A leader who abuses their power wasn’t corrupted by it: they’re just using the power they have, in a way that’s entirely consistent with the person they’ve always been.If you want to take a deeper dive into the dynamics of leadership power, have a listen to Ep.5: Using Power Wisely.————————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/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally.

They're made by the things their leaders do, but can't see the impact of.Today is number five, Master Ambiguity. At the top of any organisation, complexity, uncertainty, and ambiguity are high. But down on the front line, people need to know specifically what they need to do to be successful. They need to know what good looks like, in very concrete terms. Whatever uncertainty you're feeling is magnified at every layer below you. So before you label anyone as an underperformer, ask yourself one question: what have you actually done to give them clarity of objectives?————————GET YOUR SCORE ON ALL SEVEN LEADERSHIP BLINDSPOTS, HERE:https://score.leadershipbeyondthetheory.com/workshop————————The 7 Leadership Blind Spots, one a day:1.
