Episode Notes

Leadership isn’t just about holding a title—it’s about the impact a leader has on their team. Some leaders wield power, using manipulation, control, and authority to drive results. Others serve with purpose, elevating their teams, fostering growth, and leading with integrity.

In this episode, we’re exploring the stark contrast between Manipulative Leadership and Servant Leadership—how each shapes workplace culture, influences decision-making, and determines the success of an organization. Are you leading to your people, or are you leading for them?

Join Rich and Maikel as we uncover the subtle and not-so-subtle tactics of manipulative leadership, the transformative nature of servant leadership, and what it truly means to lead with influence rather than control in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.
