The Power of Balance
We have been sold a myth: that good, successful leaders are fiercely competitive battlers. The aggressive combative leaders we have been taught to admire actually hold a deep seated anxiety that they and their world have a profoundly unbalanced power relationship. That their world is an actual or potential threat. Drawing from his book “How successful leaders do business with their world”, as well as conversations with top leaders, author and coach-mentor Stephen Barden argues that truly successful leaders, those who act on behalf of their entire constituencies, have learned that they and their worlds are partners with a manageable power balance. That their power lies in that balance. (Theme music: "Celtic Spirit" by Julius H. from Pixabay)
The Power of Balance
EP.20 The Balancing Act
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Should organizations be able to mark their own homework - or should performance evaluation be done entirely independently?
Does it make any sense for companies to be good corporate citizens?
Does delegated leadership really work - or is it a recipe for distorted information?
Just three of the questions that Stephen Barden asks in this episode. Whether you agree with his answers or not - they're central to the future of good management and leadership.
