Listen "Barry Kleiman"
Episode Synopsis
Barry Kleiman is a social entrepreneur focused on rebuilding the cultural infrastructure of connection. As founder of The Playground Principles™ Movement and author of The Playground Principles: Do Yours Still Matter?, he helps leaders and organizations reclaim the foundational rules — merit, accountability, fairness, trust, and shared success — that made us civil. Drawing on decades as an executive search professional and executive coach, Barry combines systems thinking with street-level wisdom. A self-described "75-year-old kid from a Philly playground," he brings tangibility to principles that sound abstract—proving that everything begins with personal leadership before scaling to the cultural transformation necessary to drive highly functional organizations. Connection is currency. Connection with self is oxygen.
