The MLM.com Podcast

Can you name the two types of leaders? Sorry for pulling a “there are only two types of people” on you. But, when it comes to leadership, there are two big umbrella categories that almost all good leaders fall under. Each type serves a different purpose. No doubt, you’ve met them both: There’s the flashy one up on the stage and the no-nonsense one behind the curtain. But who are they, and what real value do they bring to the table? Nancy Tobler PhD joins Kenny once again to discuss the historical theories that have shaped leadership strategies over time and the current theories that help our organizations stay organized. Listen in to learn: • How can you, as a leader, do better and get more out of your followers? • What kind of nice guys actually finish first? • How do some jerks get love and loyalty out of their followers? • What strategies are effective (and ineffective) when one of your followers is a jerk? • Which type of leader is more critical to organization survival? The answers might surprise you.
