Episode 11 - From Control to Co-Creation: The Maturity Shift No One Talks About

We rarely talk about leadership as a question of psychological maturity — but what if that’s the missing conversation?

In this episode, Giovanna D’Alessio explores a quiet but profound shift: from leading through control to leading through co-creation. It’s not about changing your leadership style — it’s about evolving your relationship to power, trust, and responsibility.

Through the contrasting stories of Matteo and Tami, we unpack what really separates high-performing teams that feel flat, from those that feel alive. And we ask the deeper questions most models skip:
What are you protecting when you take control?
And what becomes possible when you don’t?

For HR professionals, coaches, and organizational leaders who want to grow not just in skills, but in self — this one’s for you.

The Orange Twist is hosted by Giovanna D’Alessio, MCC — reflections on leadership, culture, and change for HR professionals and organizational leaders.
