An Evolving Man Podcast
The Changing Face of Leadership - From Command and Control to Emotional Intelligence | Piers Cross
True Leadership Is About Empowerment, Not Control
In the kind of leadership I believe in—and teach—power isn’t something to hold onto.
It’s something to share.
The most emotionally intelligent leaders I know aren’t focused on creating followers.
They’re committed to growing more leaders.
As John C Maxwell writes in The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership he personally learned to change his leadership focus "from leading followers developing leaders."
That shift happens when we:
✅ Create space for others to step into their own authority
✅ Offer support, not micromanagement
✅ Encourage autonomy, creativity, and ownership
✅ Lead from trust, not fear
And the ripple effect is huge:
➡️ When people feel seen, empowered, and free to lead from their strengths, teams become more resilient.
➡️ Cultures become more human.
➡️ And leadership becomes something that’s shared—not just worn by the person at the top. How are you growing the leaders around you?
