• Ep 3 - Power vs. Force – Leading with Influence Instead of Control

  For centuries, leadership has been built on command and control—where leaders hold power over others instead of using their power to lift others up. But true leadership isn’t about force—it’s about empowerment.In this episode, we’re breaking down why force-driven leadership is outdated and why the best leaders don’t rely on micromanagement, fear, or control—they lead with influence, trust, and presence.What You’ll Learn in This Episode:✔️ Why traditional “power over” leadership creates resistance instead of results.✔️ How force-based leadership leads to disengagement, fear, and burnout (for both leaders and teams).✔️ The difference between leading with force vs. leading with empowerment.✔️ The impact of self-leadership—are you forcing yourself to make things happen instead of allowing flow?✔️ Real-world examples, including Steve Jobs’ leadership transformation and lessons from the military.✔️ Practical shifts to step into your true power without controlling everything.🎧 We also explore Simon Sinek’s concept from Why Leaders Eat Last, and why real leaders prioritise their people over power.📌 Watch Simon's TED Talk: "Why Good Leaders Make You Feel Safe"📖 Read the book: Why Leaders Eat Last - Simon Sinek📍 Instagram: @freshcollective_il 🌎 Website: www.freshcollective.au🚀 The Natural Leader Hub is opening soon—stay tuned for updates!💬 After listening, come say hi on Instagram and let me know—have you ever worked under a leader who led with force?
