In this episode, Kul explores why the most effective leaders choose trust over control - especially under pressure. Drawing on real-world examples, research, and personal insight, the conversation examines how fear-driven control erodes performance, while trust builds psychological safety, accountability, and sustainable results. If you’re leading through complexity, change, or scrutiny, this episode challenges you to rethink how you respond when it matters most.
