Leadership isn’t about control—it’s a creative act. Yet too often, leaders default to org charts, titles, and vanity metrics instead of the courage and creativity needed to build real trust. The bottom line gets in the way of belonging, and businesses exploit people rather than empower them.
In this conversation, Dan Dowman and I unpack why so many organizations struggle to create cultures of connection—and why three core virtues can change everything:
🔹 Wholeness over Rightness – Wholeness is a superpower. It disrupts defensiveness, creates space for adaptability, and reveals when to break from the status quo. It’s the foundation for real collaboration and innovation.
🔹 Reciprocity over Extraction – True leadership moves from “me” to “we.” When reciprocity is prioritized, teams transform into ecosystems of shared interest, trust, and advocacy.
🔹 Sovereignty over Commodity – People aren’t resources or targets. Sovereignty honors agency and autonomy, leading to genuine connection, shared ownership, and lasting trust.
If you want to lead with liberation instead of control, this conversation is for you.
