143: Why "Strongman" Leadership Won't Last
from Human Centred Leadership Podcast with Kul Mahay · host Kul Mahay
In this episode, Kul explores why “strongman” leadership is losing its influence in politics, workplaces, and society. He reflects on the rise of authoritarian, command-and-control leadership and contrasts it with a growing global shift toward emotional intelligence, connection, and people-first values. Through political examples and leadership stories, he shows why dominance may create short-term wins but never sustains trust or performance. Kul Mahay has over 3 decades experience in the leadership space. He works with organisations and leaders to develop powerful cultures of high value, and performance which is built all around their people. _____________________________ ABOUT THE PODCAST SERIES During these shows, you‘ll hear Kul chatting with fellow leaders from around the world, who are recognised as being at the top of their game.
