    “Command and Control” or “Connect and Adapt” Join me and my guest Maria Brinck (mariabrinck.com), founder of Zynergy International and author of The Leadership We Need Now. Drawing from over a decade of leadership expertise and research, Maria calls out the dominant, masculine monopoly on leadership that has shaped society for millennia—and how it’s failing us in today’s poly-crisis reality. Noting that masculine monoculture in leadership is costing $8.8 trillion in workplace disengagement, she argues that the hard way is, in fact, the right way: where we collaborate instead of compete, engage people instead of control them, and live alongside nature rather than dominate it. In her book she offers a bold, visionary blueprint for the kind of leadership our world urgently needs—one rooted in collaboration, compassion, and courage. She makes the case for the assertion that“the leaders of today should not be the leaders of tomorrow." SHOW NOTES SPONSORED BY: Power of You!
