Forbes; by Glenn Llopis; 1/7/25
Leadership today isn’t what it used to be. Gone are the days when a title or a corner office automatically commanded respect. Today, business leaders need more than authority, they need relevance. But being a relevant leader is not just about adopting new behaviors; it’s about unlearning bad habits. Especially those that do more harm than good. ... Here are six behaviors you must unlearn that once felt relevant and now may be holding you back. I’ve also included the six behaviors you must relearn.
- Stop Controlling Everything ...
- Transactional Leadership ... "leadership is more than ticking items off a to-do list. Your team needs presence." ...
- Always Need to Lead ...
- Playing It Safe ...
- Separating Work and Emotion ...
- Holding On to Bad Habits ...
Being a relevant leader is about being curious, adaptable, and grounded in reality. Leadership is not static. It’s a continuous process discovery plus action.
