Robert Thompson, author of The Offsite: A Leadership Challenge Fable, has over three decades of executive coaching, speaking, and most importantly, real-life, in-the-trenches business experience, and he recently spoke with Shawn Ellis, founder of The Speakers Group and ROI Speakers, about his book and his views on leadership as “a moment-to-moment choice and not about title, tenure or position.” Listen to the audio below to hear Robert talk about:

• Whether or not any of The Offsite characters are based on real people
• Five myths of leadership, such as “leadership and management are the same” and “open door policies are always the best policy”
• Five Practices of Exemplary Leaders
• The research that supports The Offsite and The Leadership Challenge
• Solutions offered by The Offsite and Robert’s speaking programs during these challenging times
