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)

  • 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
    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.

  • Speakers of Truth to Power: Razan
    Jun 25 2025

    Stephen Barden speaks to a post graduate student in Norway who, by speaking truth to power, managed to get her university in Stavanger to change a core policy.

    What has this to do with business and management?

    Everything.

    Listen carefully and it becomes clear what leaders and managers need to learn about the generation that will be running things in the next decade or so.
