Most leadership failure doesn’t come from incompetence — it comes from fear.

 Fear of losing control. Fear of empowering others. Fear dressed up as authority.

In this episode of ThinkWORKS, I explore why the best leaders lead from the back, why macho management quietly destroys organisations, and how a single question — “How can I help?” — can transform teams, cultures, and results.

We look at why “busy” isn’t productive, how empowerment actually increases accountability, and why trust is the missing ingredient in modern leadership.

If you manage people, work in a team, or want to build something that lasts — this episode is for you. Join in the discussion below.
