episode 1: E01 - Author Charles Matheus talks all things Leadership in Masculinity and The Man Box
EPISODE 1 -
Dad Space welcomes Charles Matheus to the podcast! Our first interview, and Charles brings it! We talk cats, pizza, trains, buying a house virtually, moving, relocating and so much more!!
Charles Matheus is an adventurer, entrepreneur, mentor, and leadership consultant. He has led individuals and groups to the top of the highest peaks in Wyoming and to the bottom of the Grand Canyon (and back!). He uses the facilitation and coaching skills he honed in those intense, high-risk wilderness settings to support, teach, and mentor experienced and emerging leaders in business, higher education, and the nonprofit sector.
Charles is on a mission to help other men feel powerful and confident as they step away from old, unsound leadership models and toward more inclusive, flexible, and sustainable modes. Charles’s TEDx talks, keynotes, and workshops have inspired hundreds of workshop participants, and conference attendees.
Charles is a Mankind Project facilitator, men’s group coach, and acts as a consultant for several ongoing men’s empowerment, leadership, and study groups. Charles also co-hosts the “Remaking Manhood” podcast which features conversations with men and women at the forefront of the Healthy Masculinity movement.
Leadership & Masculinity is fast becoming the must-have reference for male leaders. The author contrasts old strength leadership (command and control, benevolent dictatorship, discriminatory, my way or the highway, top down) with new strength leadership (win-win, power-with, inclusion and vulnerability, collaboration, openness and diversity).
As an experienced leadership consultant and wilderness guide, Matheus explains that the transformative leadership journey is not easy - it entails some heavy lifting and challenging route- finding - but his little book gives clear and practical advice for leading well, living fully and leaving a positive legacy.
Critically, this book explores the power games and key thinking that trap male leaders into outdated ways of leading; and then gives clear direction for moving forward into a more inclusive, diverse, equitable and collaborative leadership style.
The text effortlessly cuts through the noise and confusion with simplicity and precision. The author signposts a clear direction, practical guidelines and a new leadership vision and adventure for men.
Charles Matheus is a seasoned leadership consultant. Over the past 35 years, he’s been an educator, wilderness guide, nonprofit leader, entrepreneur, public speaker, a corporate teambuilder for prestigious Cornell Outdoor Education and a founding board member of Boys To Men, USA.
This remarkable book starts with a candid confession of Charles’s epic failure as a senior team leader and director; and the journey back to inspired leadership. He unpacks the honest lessons learned for men in key leadership roles.
If you are a man in a key leadership role this is a though-provoking read. This book goes a long way to describing what good looks like especially as it relates to delivering team excellence.
