Bald Leadership

cpullar/kreed

Bald Leadership is just not about our “hair-styles”! It’s about having authentic, bold and frank discussions about what is really needed to grow into an impactful leader regardless of who you are. It’s about “Inspiring, curating and supporting the next generation of leadership” in business, sport, political and social fields. Get used to laughing a bit with humour and story telling, grounded in the research of others. This is the foundation of our show and dialogues. Through discussions with other leaders, authors, and researchers, we uncover hidden truths about developing as a better leaders in a time when leadership is needed most... always with a touch of fun. read less

Len Rhodes ICD.D - “Values, Community, and the RIGHT Way” (Hey, there’s some Free Candy!!)
This was one of the most enjoyable and powerful conversations yet! Len Rhodes has been the Senior Vice-President and Global General Manager for Reebok and CCM, and sales leader for global brands like Heinz and Molson's.  He’s been the Chair of the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce, and CEO of the Canadian Football League’s Edmonton Elks. His humour and enthusiasm for business leadership stems from his working class roots in Cote-des-Neiges (one of Canada’s most diverse communities) and routes through leading sales roles eventually landing in Alberta where he resides today and presently engaged as a Corporate Director (ALGC, WCL).    Len shares his journey with Kavis and Collin, sharing his insights on strategy, values proposition and how they related to culture in an organization. His description of the “Power Triangle” - Performance, Community, and the Experience of a consumer is the stuff of a Master Class. Len also gets concerned about Kavis’ fear of water and Collin’s find of “free candy.” Tons of fun and moving moments in this one!   🌐 www.BaldLeadership.ca   Len Rhodes, ICD.D | LinkedIn  Reebok: Overview | LinkedIn  CCM Hockey: Overview | LinkedIn  The Kraft Heinz Company: Overview | LinkedIn  Molson Coors Beverage Company: Overview | LinkedIn  Edmonton Chamber of Commerce: Overview | LinkedIn  Canadian Football League: Overview | LinkedIn  Edmonton Elks: Overview | LinkedIn  AGLC: Overview | LinkedIn  Western Canadian Lottery Corporation | LinkedIn Concordia University: Overview | LinkedIn Music Credit: https://pixabay.com//?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=music&utm_content=124924
