Today’s guest is a New York Times bestselling author and has written over a half dozen books. How then could this be his first visit on the show? I’m not sure I can answer that. But, I’ve decided to make the most of my time with Kevin Kruse and squeeze not one but TWO interviews out of him. Kevin is not only my guest on the podcast today, but will be one of 32 speakers worldwide who’ve accepted my invitation to join me for my upcoming online conference called the Boss-Free Virtual Summit. If you desire to make the break away from traditional work to going your own way, be sure and grab your free seat for the summit via the link above. Today, however, Kevin and I discuss his new book and many of his contrarian views on traditional leadership. Things like: closing your open door policy, the difference between being likable and being liked, why you should reveal everything, including salaries, and more. This is a real in-depth conversation on a leadership model for the 21st Century. I really think you’re going to enjoy it.
