Best Leadership Advice? Don’t Be a Leader

Send us Fan MailWhat if the best leadership advice isn’t to lead at all?In this episode of The Business Game, we explore a powerful, counterintuitive approach to leadership, leading from the bottom, prioritizing connection over content, and having the hard conversations most leaders avoid.Our guests share why leadership isn’t about hierarchy or ego, how avoiding small issues creates big problems, and why servant leadership builds stronger, more resilient teams - especially in modern, distributed workplaces.If you’re a founder or leader who wants to build trust, clarity, and real momentum, this episode will challenge how you think about leadership.Connect with our Guests:Shantanu Bhattacharya, Founder & CEO of Cyber Cure:Website: https://siometrix.com/LinkedIn:   / shantanuprofile  Annabel Hay, Founder & CEO of Clutch Glue:Website: https://clutchglue.com/LinkedIn:    / annabel-hay-a057ba125  Socials: @annabel_hay ‪@clutch_glue‬ Stacey Hylen - Business Coach & Certified AI Consultant:Website: https://staceyhylen.com/LinkedIn:   / staceyhylenRyan Cassin, Co-founder of Superpowers:Website: https://superpowershq.com/LinkedIn (Ryan):   / ryancassin  Curtis McCullom - Bespoke Human Potential Coaching:Website: https://www.bespokehumanpotentialcoac...LinkedIn:   / curtis-mccullom   Greg Wilkes - CEO of Develop Coaching:Website: https://developcoaching.co.uk https://developcoaching.com.au https://develop-coaching.com  LinkedIn:  Facebook:   / developcoach   Instagram:   / greg.wilkes.coach   LinkedIn:   / greg-wilkes_________We're excited to be able to offer our Business Game community an affiliate link for their HubSpot sign ups!
