Work That Matters Podcast

It's no secret that growth is the key to longevity of a business. Yet business owners and its leaders can fall prey to growth killers, limiting and in some cases eliminating the business. Today we're going to zero in on one of the growth killers—tolerating dysfunctional leaders. My guest is Robert Sher. He is published by outlets like Forbes.com and HBR online. He was the founder and CEO of Bentley Publishing Group. He now leads CEO to CEO, a consulting firm focused on coaching midsize company CEOs and their management teams. Robert is also the author of a new book, Mighty Midsize Companies: How Leaders Overcome 7 Silent Growth Killers. In this episode we discuss warning signs of dysfunction, high maintenance leaders, the myths of loyalty, and even the importance of earned trust. Get ready to take notes.
