You might have an open-door policy, but if a metaphorical grizzly bear is sitting behind it, your team still wonât walk through.
In this episode ofâŻThe Leaders Kit Bag, I dig into a leadership truth thatâs hard to hear but vital to address: just because youâve got an âopen door policyâ doesnât mean people feel safe enough to share everything you need to know.
I explore why feedback often goes unspoken and why well-meaning leaders may be making decisions based on partial truths and assumptions, without even realising it.
In this episode, youâll learn:
Why teams hold back the feedback you most need to hear Three common reasons people donât speak up The truth about your leadership brand, and how to improve it A powerful, practical formula to help build genuine trust and psychological safetyThis one is all about creating a culture where people feel safe enough to tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear.

In todayâs episode, I offer a fresh perspective on one of the concepts Iâve shared time and time again: leadership is not about having all the answers.
Using the metaphor of a lighthouse versus a radar, I explore the subtle but powerful shift in mindset that enables great leaders to navigate with agility, listen deeply, and respond wisely.
Where the lighthouse stands still and broadcasts in one direction, the radar constantly scans, listens, and adjusts.
Thatâs what todayâs most effective leaders do: they ask more than they tell.
In this short episode, youâll learn:
Why strong leaders donât need to have all the answers The power of asking questions over giving instructions How this mindset shift can unlock new insights, ideas, and engagement A memorable âbrain tattooâ to guide your everyday leadershipBen AI â Your Free Leadership Coach, Anytime You Need It

In this episode ofâŻThe Leaders Kit Bag, Iâm exploring one of the most common â and overlooked â growth challenges in scale-ups and fast-moving organisations:âŻleadership bottlenecks.
As Marshall Goldsmith put it, âWhat got you here wonât get you there.â
That insight rings especially true for leaders in high-growth businesses. The truth is, the biggest barrier to scaling often isnât sales, operations or even funding â itâs the leadership capability within the organisation.
Youâll learn:
Why your mindset must evolve as your company grows How to move from being the âheroâ to becoming the âenablerâ The power of autonomy, accountability and psychological safety Why developing the leadership layer around you is non-negotiableIf youâre serious about scaling your business, you canât do it all yourself.
You need more leaders, not just more followers â and that means letting go, building trust and investing in leadership at every level.

Why ego and fear are the hidden drivers behind over-controlling leadership How to apply Susan Scottâs Decision Tree (read my blog) to streamline team decisions https://www.ben-morton.com/the-decision-tree-a-smarter-approach-to-delegation/ What the military principle of Mission Command can teach us about effective delegation How to give up controlâŻwithout⯠losing oversightBy giving others the autonomy to lead within clear boundaries, we not only free ourselves up to focus on what really matters â we also grow more leaders in the process.

In this episode ofâŻThe Leaders Kit Bag, I shine a light on a common leadership pitfall: the Super-Manager Trap.
Itâs the belief that the productivity of your team or business is directly linked to how hardâŻyouâŻwork. But the truth is, the harder you push, the more you might be holding everyone else back.
Iâll walk you through why this happens, how it impacts your teamâs growth, and the practical steps you can take to shift from Super-Manager to strategic leader.

In this episode of The Leaders Kitbag, I reveal why underperformance often isnât about people falling short, but about systems and processes that havenât evolved with your growing organisation.
I share insights on how the approaches that once worked for a small team may fail at scale, and why itâs all too easy to falsely attribute the blame on individuals when the real culprit is a misaligned environment and culture.

When a team member falls short of expectations, itâs easy to point the finger of blame at them.
But the best leaders ask themselves a different question: What was my role in this?
In this episode of The Leaders Kit Bag, I explore the concept of radical accountabilityâtaking full ownership of your teamâs performance.
Instead of blaming individuals, we must identify and address the leadership gaps that may be causing underperformance.
Here are four key leadership gaps that could be holding your team back:
Hiring and Onboarding Mistakes â Were you diligent in the hiring process? Did you give new team members the support they needed to succeed?
Lack of Clarity and Standards â Have you been explicit about what good looks like? Have you set clear expectations for tasks and behaviours?
Insufficient Support and Coaching â Leadership is about enabling others to perform. Are you actively supporting, developing, and coaching your team?
Your Own Energy and Mood â Emotional contagion is real. Your state of mind influences your teamâs performanceâare you leading with positive energy?
Your Challenge: Pick one of these four areas and identify a single action you can take today to improve your leadership. Then watch how your teamâs performance shifts.

Have you ever been disappointed with a team memberâs performance, only to later realise you never actually communicated your expectations clearly?
Youâre not alone. Unclear expectations are one of the biggest performance killers, and as leaders, weâre often guilty of setting an invisible standard without articulating it.
In this episode of The Leaders Kit Bag, I share three simple but powerful tips to ensure your team understands exactly what is expected of them:
Make the Invisible Visible â Clearly articulate expectations, focusing on outcomes rather than micromanaging the process. Give your team autonomy while setting clear deliverables.
The Commitment Clarification Exercise â When assigning tasks, ask team members to repeat back the expectations in their own words. This prevents misunderstandings and ensures alignment.
Be Clear, Not Cryptic â If you need to course-correct, be empathetic but direct. Avoid âruinous empathy,â where leaders soften feedback so much that it becomes vague and unhelpful. Instead, provide laser-focused guidance that allows people to improve.
By implementing these three strategies, youâll remove ambiguity, empower your team, and create an environment where people can truly excel.
Tune in now to ensure youâre not unconsciously setting your team up to fail.

Stepping up to lead a team of former peers can be one of the trickiest transitions in leadership. It inevitably changes relationships, and the biggest mistake new leaders make is failing to acknowledge that shift.
In this episode ofâŻThe Leaders Kit Bag, I share theâŻsingle most important stepâŻyou must take to set yourself and your team up for successâhaving an open and honest conversation from the outset. Avoiding it may feel easier in the short term, but it only leads to ongoing awkwardness, uncertainty, and disengagement within the team.
Key takeaways from this episode:
Acknowledge the changeâŻâ Ignoring the shift in dynamics makes things harder for everyone.
Create certaintyâŻâ Uncertainty triggers negative reactions and impacts performance.
Have the conversation earlyâŻâ Setting expectations and discussing concerns will prevent long-term discomfort.

AutonomyâŻâ The freedom to make choices.
RelatednessâŻâ Feeling a sense of belonging and connection.
FairnessâŻâ The perception of equity and justice.
By understanding these triggers, youâll be able to strengthen relationships, boost team performance, and successfully position yourself as a leader in moments of change.

In this episode of The Leaders Kit Bag, we focus on the art of tailoring communication to your audience.
Miscommunication often occurs because people think and process information differently.
Understanding and addressing these differences is essential for leaders seeking to connect effectively.
Key Takeaways:
Recognise diverse thinking styles: Some people prefer big-picture overviews, while others need detailed plans to fully engage. Adapt to your audience: Adjust your communication style based on whether your audience values vision or practicality. Cover all bases: If youâre unsure about your audienceâs preferences, communicate using both high-level summaries and detailed explanations.By aligning your communication style with your audienceâs needs, you ensure your message is not only heard but also understood and embraced.

In this episode of The Leaders Kit Bag, we tackle a common leadership challenge: how to ensure alignment and clarity in meetings and presentations. Many leaders leave a room believing everyone is on the same page, only to find confusion and misalignment later. This episode introduces a simple yet transformative tactic to prevent that from happening.
Key Takeaways:
Ask to confirm understanding: Instead of asking, âAny questions?â, ask specific questions to test understanding, e.g., âWhat time are we starting?â or âWhat is the next step?â Encourage active listening: When attendees know they might be asked to summarise, they naturally engage more attentively. Avoid assumptions: Silence doesnât equate to understanding. Test and confirm for better alignment.This approach fosters better communication, reduces misunderstandings, and ensures everyone leaves a meeting clear and aligned on priorities.

In this episode of The Leaders Kit Bag, we dive into the often-overlooked cornerstone of effective communicationâlistening.
While many leaders focus on what they say, the true art of communication lies in genuinely understanding others.
Key Takeaways:
Awareness is the first step: Recognise that much of what passes for listening in conversations is people waiting for their turn to speak. Model the way: As leaders, we must demonstrate the behaviours we want to see, including attentive and intentional listening. Set the right intention: Before any conversation or meeting, prepare yourself mentally to truly listen with the aim of understanding rather than responding.Adopting these strategies will transform how you connect with your team, foster dialogue instead of monologues, and create stronger, more productive relationships.

In this episode of The Leaders Kit Bag, we delve into the critical skill of communicating with clarity as a leader.
Miscommunication can lead to frustration, wasted effort, and unfulfilled expectations.
As leaders, the responsibility often lies with us to ensure our messages are clear and actionable.
Albert Einstein famously said, âTrue genius is making the complex simple, not making the simple complicated.â This insight underpins todayâs discussion.
Key Takeaways:
Reflect on your role in communication breakdowns. Before criticizing others, ask: "What part have I played in creating this confusion?"Simplify your communication. Avoid acronyms, ambiguous terms like "they" or "their," and ensure all necessary context is included.Before sending any message, reread it and identify areas of potential confusion. Clarity requires a small upfront effort but yields immense benefits in saved time and reduced frustration.By investing in clarity, you create a foundation for effective leadership and improved collaboration.
