In this special 50th episode of the Nuts and Bolts of Leadership podcast, host Billy Duren talks with Alex Moss, Founding Principal at Praxis, to explore real-world leadership and governance for employee-owned companies.
Alex shares his expertise on what truly makes a workplace thrive: creating ownership opportunities, building a healthy workplace culture, and helping both leaders and employees “lean in” and engage fully. Together, they bust old myths about leadership – it’s not just about telling people what to do, but about coaching, listening, and building trust.
Alex also explains the role of board governance: instead of getting in the weeds, boards need to guide, oversee, and help leaders stay focused on the company’s long-term vision. They discuss the growing influence of AI in business, emphasizing the need for thoughtful and trustworthy leadership as technology continues to evolve.
