The result is a team that performs despite the manager. The focus of their humour and the scorn of ridicule. And when you listen in you can see why. We don't condone the behaviour here, but just showing reality.

The need for leaders to provide honest and transparent feedback that enables their teams to deliver on perofrmance and potential. Wanting/Needing to be liked and blaming processes of the company is never a way forward for any leader.
We have been blown away by how many readers and listeners have shared their stories of the Dumb Punter, so lets look at how they operate and the results they get. HINT - it's ordinary
Tony also shares some insights into the QLD election with a view forward. Influence is what is needed, not government along party ...
It's a year since one of Australia largest corporate disasters. Woolworth's ill-fated attempt to take on market leader Bunnings on the 24billion dollar Hardware and Home Improvement market.
Lets look at the timeline and lets look at some of the key reason for the failure. It was a hell of a ride, based on a wrong premise with stumps called, just as they formed the right team to...

Leaders are on show, leaders are on show every day.
For managers and leaders everywhere that is a simple fact of life. We are on show to our team, to our customers and our clients and we are also on show every day on social media, and in news media outlets. Regardless whether its fake news or not, things get said, done and reported and your business suffers, your leadership repu...
What they see in the recruitment stage is replicated if they do take up the offer. If you are too busy for them during recruitment, you’ll always be too busy to coach and develop them.
To me there is a stereotype here of a Dumb Leader – The one that believes they are more important than others. The one that always has more important things to do than be with others, attend to oth...

And what a doozy we have for you. We have labelled this guy, this DL the Volatile Volcano…. Known and feared for intermittent eruptions.
Every day we head into the office, wishing for an eruption free day, but often it’s ground hog day again. Our boss, the owner of the business has no self-control over his own emotions…. E...

When confronted by someone who wants to give him bad news, he tends to get angry and the words JUST fix it or else will come out in some stage ...

Today I am going to share thoughts around a Dumb Leader that we call the power up and talk down leader. Maybe you have experienced a leader like this, a leader who makes them feel big by making you feel small.
I’ve experienced the feeling of having someone power up, whether it’s by using intimidation language, whether it’s by talking over the top of me, ...
