One of the key elements to being a successful franchisee is strong leadership skills. Today I am interviewing Dr. Simon Cleveland, one of the authors of There Is No Box: A Practical Guide for the Relatable Leader. Dr. Cleveland is a professor at Purdue Global Cleveland has decades of experience in complex, technical project management for organizations and companies the book investigates where leaders start, how they become boxed in upon entering the workforce, and finally how they can break through those boundaries to become a culturally agile leader and a meaningful contributor to our global society. There Is No Box is a practical guide for leaders who recognize how critical it is to draw outside the lines of typical guidance in order to rethink leadership development and gain competencies that make them more inclusive, culturally aware, and empowered to facilitate collaboration. In Part Two, we play a clip from our popular Great Quotes in Franchising podcast.

Reflection Interview
Franchise Interviews started off as a newsletter.  I had no idea I would be hosting one of the longest running podcasts on the topic of franchising.  Sometime back in 2006, Anita Campbell invited me on her show Small Business Trends Radio to discuss the newsletter.  Needless to say, I was a bit nervous because this was my first appearance on the radio.  I recently listened to the podcast with Anita and realized how much I have grown as a person.  Several months later, I got an invitation to turn our newsletter into a weekly internet radio show/podcast.
