À propos de ce contenu audio

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 Tenderness
      Dec 28 2025

      Surely this is an absurd idea: that tenderness can be - is ,in fact - powerful? In this episode Stephen Barden dives into the even more absurd idea that tenderness in the workplace is an extraordinary powerful tool for building strong and thriving organizations.

    • HOW WE OUTSOURCE OUR POWER

      HOW WE OUTSOURCE OUR POWER
      Sep 19 2025

      Host Stephen Barden asks:

      How do we make sure that we don’t shrink ourselves when we outsource to others – to technology or to other people?

      How do we keep a reasonable balance between making sure we maintain our own power of learning from experience – on the one hand- and being agile and quick off the mark on the other?

    • Speakers of Truth to Power: Lt. General (retired) Ben Hodges

      Speakers of Truth to Power: Lt. General (retired) Ben Hodges
      Aug 12 2025

      The third guest in this special series is not someone you would immediately think of as speaking truth to power. Yet retired Lieutenant General Ben Hodges has consistently done just that — especially when reminding the U.S. military of its core values and allegiance to the Constitution, rather than to the interests of politicians. His worry is that the unwillingness of some of the most senior military echelons to speak out against the growing demands of the current administration is either because they are fearful of something....or they agree.
