Don't Feed the Lion: Redefining the Leadership Role

The outdated archetype of the "leader as a lion"—the solitary master of their domain—stifles innovation, burns out talent, and restricts agility. Effective modern leadership requires a reality check, critical thinking, collaboration and results driven plans.

Critical thinking shouldn't mean skepticism or delay—it is the ultimate advantage. Mary describes critical thinking as a vital tool for success.
