. Official book page: https://robertglazer.com/compass/ . You say you’re values-driven. You’ve probably even got them printed on a wall or a slide deck. But what if those values—the ones you repeat to your team, your board, and yourself—aren’t actually yours?

What if they’re inherited, performative, or built to impress… not to guide?

In this bold, unflinching conversation, Dov Baron sits down with best-selling author and leadership visionary Bob Glazer to uncover the silent self-deception baked into most leadership identities.

Because here’s the hard truth:

You don’t rise to the level of your stated values. You regress to your real ones—especially under pressure.

The “values lie” silently sabotaging your leadership
How to know if your compass is pointing to true north or magnetic delusion

The single test that reveals if your values are negotiable under fire
Shocking: Why “integrity” and “family” are often weaponized, not lived
