Can you remember a time when you felt misunderstood by a leader? Or perhaps you're a leader who's felt disconnected from your team. This episode of Unleashing Leadership is all about bridging that gap. We get down to the nitty-gritty of power dynamics and status, and the role they play in creating distance between leaders and their teams. We discuss the damaging effects of power and status, and how it can skew a leader's understanding of their team's experiences.

We offer an eye-opening perspective that real leadership isn't about working above your team, but amongst them. But how do you manage the inherent power and status that come with leadership? We explore this and the fact that even the most competent leaders can falter when it comes to status management. However, it's their response to failure that sets them apart. We also delve into the framework for an ideal team player and share how your A-players can be inspired to outperform themselves, becoming mentors and leaders in the process when they see you leading by example.
