Face-to-Face Leadership

Imagine that you go to a meeting with your colleagues and supervisor. You and your colleagues, in a small meeting room, sit around one end of a rectangular table. Your supervisor comes in, sits down near the other end of the table, and as he speaks, he kicks his legs up on the table, thus occupying most of the workspace.

Would you anticipate coming out of this meeting enthusiastic, empowered to do your best work, likely to spend extra time solving work problems?

Curtis LeBaron spends his time poring over videotapes of leadership interactions, and talked to BYU students about the impact of relationships. Fascinating to consider things that when pointed out make so much sense, but are not always explicitly understood.
