Ep 33 Leadership, Evolved: The Skills No One Taught You with Laurie Maddalena

Clara Season 1 Episode 33

This week on ClaraTY in Action, we’re getting real about leadership—because the old way of leading just isn’t cutting it anymore. Command-and-control? Outdated. Hoping people will “figure it out”? Done. Pretending empathy is optional? Not today.

In this episode, I sit down with leadership expert Laurie Maddalena to break down what Elevated Leadership truly looks like in 2025 and beyond. Spoiler: it’s not about throwing out the old playbook… it’s about amplifying it.

We talk about how today’s leaders must blend clarity with compassion, structure with flexibility, and accountability with humanity. Laurie shares how leaders can take foundational leadership principles—communication, consistency, vision—and elevate them with modern skills like emotional intelligence, psychological safety, and real, unfiltered connection.

If you want to build a high-performing AND healthy culture, if you’re tired of outdated leadership tactics that burn people out, and if you’re ready to elevate your impact—this episode is your blueprint.

Get ready to lead with heart. Lead with intention. Lead with clarity.
Because elevated leadership isn’t a trend—it’s the new standard.
