TULSA, Okla. - TelAve -- In a time when division dominates headlines and conversations feel increasingly polarized, bestselling author Bob Burg is offering leaders a better way forward.

Earlier this week, Burg appeared on Lead Empowered TV for a compelling conversation with host Nathan Mitchell, exploring the principles behind The Go-Giver Influencer and why true influence has nothing to do with pressure, persuasion, or compromise.

Instead, Burg makes a strong case for something far more effective: finding common ground, elevating dialogue, and creating outcomes where everyone wins.

During the episode, Mitchell and Burg unpack:

• How to find common ground when conflict feels unavoidable
• What influence really means in today's leadership landscape
• The Five Secrets of Genuine Influence
• How to navigate emotionally charged conversations — including political ones
• Why compromise often fails, and what works better

Set against a backdrop of rising tension and fractured communication, this episode offers leaders a practical and refreshing framework for building trust, collaboration, and lasting impact.
