Let’s Bid Farewell to Toxic Leadership Models
LISTEN TO THE FULL EPISODE:
The days of leaders ruling through fear, intimidation and dehumanization are numbered. We’re shifting from a fascination with identity, power and privilege to prioritizing empathy, authenticity and inclusion. In the face of this change, the old way of doing things is looking more and more outdated. Lately, we’ve been seeing the negative impact of oppressive leadership models that operate within the traditional principles of patriarchy and white supremacy. In this episode, Nikki discusses specific real life examples of how these destructive tactics are playing out in high profile, public facing situations. Transparency and technology are transforming leadership by empowering individuals to make informed decisions and revealing how leaders operate in crisis, all while current economic instability is exposing the weaknesses of a traditional hyper-capitalistic value system. Right now, we need leaders that are adaptable, empathetic, and inclusive, and are not threatened but catalyzed by diversity and uncertainty.
