Question from Jay:
"I’m on the board of an organization that is run by two partners. One partner is really a people person. The other partner is more of a driver, all business, doesn’t like to fool around in the office. The challenge is one partner really pushes employees to the point where they almost want to quit and then the other partner has to come in and calm things down and smooth out the hard feelings. The drive partner is sometimes also blunt and driven with customers so the other partner has had to patch some things up and in other cases they have lost customers. What can I do?"
We mentioned Ram Charan's new book, Boards That Lead*
We also mentioned his recent interview with the HBR IdeaCast

Question from Monre: [AUDIO]
We mentioned Episode #59: Seven Principles for Leading People Older Than You

Questions from Julie:
"How do you maintain loyalty and trust when rumors are circulating? How do you keep employees motivated In the face of cutbacks."
"How do you work with a boss that shows favoritism due to friendships outside the office?"
