In this episode, I reflect on the changing face of leadership. For generations, leaders operated in a command-and-control style—authoritarian, hierarchical, and often ruthless. But today, we’re seeing a shift toward emotionally and spiritually intelligent leadership, grounded in compassion, care, and trust.

I draw on insights from books and leaders including Admiral Mike Manazir, Simon Sinek, Richard Branson, John C. Maxwell, and The Leadership Challenge, to explore:

Why authoritarian leadership is breaking down
How compassion and psychological safety drive innovation and loyalty
The difference between creating followers and multiplying leaders
Why love may be the most powerful and lasting secret of effective leadership

Leadership is evolving—and this conversation is an invitation to rethink how we lead, how we inspire, and how we leave a legacy.
