Join Us for Our FridayFocus Session: What Makes a Modern Leader?

Are the Old “Command-and-Control” Styles Truly Dead?

Leadership styles have shifted dramatically over the last 20 years. Many say the old ‘command-and-control’ approach doesn’t work anymore — but is that true?

What does modern leadership look like, and what still holds value from the past?

What do you think defines a modern leader?
Examples: Traits like empathy, transparency, adaptability, vision, and inclusivity.
Is there still a place for command-and-control?
Examples: crisis situations, safety-critical industries, military-style settings.
How has your own leadership style evolved in the last 5–10 years?
What shifted, and why?
What leadership styles have you seen inspire people most in your workplace?
Any examples from mentors, colleagues, or industry leaders.

Today’s discussion is about cutting through the noise to uncover the truth behind Modern leadership and perhaps discovering an insight that is like gold.
