When your family business becomes bigger, a chance occurs in the organization. Usually it is called: Governance. Who has a voice in making decisions and who is accountable for those decisions? Ultimately, it is the 'Norms' of the organization that rule. And that may or may not be in the best interests of the organization. If the purpose is not clear, the Board has challenges. Dov covers all this and more in today's exciting episode. Plus: Do you have a fear of conflict? Let me help you out… Get Over It! I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but there is a direct link between being a decisive leader and being a master of conflict. Bottom line: As a leader, if you cannot embrace healthy conflict you will have a hard time committing to your decisions. Great leaders are masters of conflict because they are willing to passionately disagree about the things they hold as most important. As a leader, you are a walking, talking living example to your people, they can and only will do what it is that you demonstrate through your own behavior. Click here to read the rest

I started the first version of this show back in April 2009 and although the show has grown and changed over the years we have always looked beneath the surface of the leaders I interview On this the 300th episode of Leadership & Loyalty we chat with my guest Kimra Luna: With her bright blue hair and punk rock style, she is probably the last person you’d expect to have become a millionaire, or to be profiled in The Huffington Post, Business Insider, Yahoo! or Forbes.com. In a modern day “rags to riches” story, 30-year-old mother-of-three Kimra went from growing up on welfare to becoming a highly-sought after personal branding and social media expert -- earning over a million dollars in her first 18 months in business. She now leads a community of over 90,000 entrepreneurs.

Are you sick, tiered and angry about the quality leadership we are dealing with today...particularly at a political level? Do you wish someone would step up and call the craziness out? Our guest today is someone who decided to do something about it. Yes, I know it’s shocking but he got angry about the way things were going and decided to do something about it. My guess today is a highly in demand leadership expert, speaker and author who I am honoured to call my friend (not in the Hollywood sense) but a real friend. He is someone I highly respect as a leader of leaders. He’s also an outspoken individual who is committed to making a difference. And as a result has decided to jump into the crazy game of politics. He has chosen to run for the US House of Representatives as a Libertarian His slogan is "Not One. Penny. More." My mate Mr Jim Bouchard. Jim is always an outstanding guest and this time was no exception. I was just thinking how our discussion was in many ways an example of what healthy politics would look like. Passionate, heated (not always in agreement) and fighting for a common good! This is what the fools don't understand...We don't have to agree to like and respect each other to get along and make a difference. Check out Jim's Libertarian stance and get his free book here...I promise you'll find it highly stimulating! http://bit.ly/CrazyAngryLibertarian More on the host: Dov Baron http://FullMontyLeadership.com

Why curiosity may be your most important leadership quality. What does it mean to be curious. Are you interesting or interested? Are there any REAL Leaders left? Before I answer, I have to ask another question: Do you want to hear the absolute truth?   I’m talking about the raw truth and definitely Not some buttered up, make it sound better than it is bunch of B.S.  What I’m talking about  is just you and me, sitting across the table from each other speaking our truth. (A word of caution…. What you are about to read will likely piss some people off. Maybe even you!) If you are ready to hear the absolute truth then I’m here to tell you that… There are no REAL Leaders anymore. Don’t believe me? Take a look around. You and I both know that leadership in its present form is a about as effective as a Jell-O© bullet. The problem is, we’ve been trained to believe someone is a leader because of position, title or accumulation of goodies, and it’s about time we realized; that’s not “real” leadership. So let’s boil leadership down to its core…    You are a leader if you have people who have consciously decided to follow you. Note that I said consciously. That means they aren’t following you because they have to, they’re supposed to, or for any other reason than you, their leader, are the example of the way they want to be! So let’s take a look at some so-called leaders we have today. Read more: http://fullmontyleadership.com/authentic-leadership/no-real-leaders-left/

Is telling the truth while climbing the corporate ladder the kiss of death? Not according to Mindy Mackenzie. According to Mindy having the courage to tell the truth is the ultimate solution, to scaling success mountain and having a personal life while building a career. Mindy Mackenzie is a sought-after speaker among major corporations and conferences. An expert on truth-telling in the workplace, Mindy is undaunted by the proverbial elephant in the room, she has a knack for getting at the heart of what her audience really wants to know.
