The Changing Face of Leadership - From Command and Control to Emotional Intelligence | Piers Cross


Listen Later

True Leadership Is About Empowerment, Not Control 

In the kind of leadership I believe in—and teach—power isn’t something to hold onto. 

It’s something to share. 

The most emotionally intelligent leaders I know aren’t focused on creating followers. 

They’re committed to growing more leaders. 

As John C Maxwell writes in The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership he personally learned to change his leadership focus "from leading followers developing leaders." 

That shift happens when we: 

✅ Create space for others to step into their own authority 

✅ Offer support, not micromanagement 

✅ Encourage autonomy, creativity, and ownership 

✅ Lead from trust, not fear 

And the ripple effect is huge: 

➡️ When people feel seen, empowered, and free to lead from their strengths, teams become more resilient. 

➡️ Cultures become more human. 

➡️ And leadership becomes something that’s shared—not just worn by the person at the top. How are you growing the leaders around you?
