In this video by @the_leadership_lighthouse, Brenee Brown has so nicely put out the leadership evolution:
💪Past: Leadership was defined by physical strength, authority, and dominance. It was about commanding and controlling.
🧠Present: Today, leadership is about intelligence, strategy, and problem-solving. We value knowledge, innovation, and critical thinking.
❤️Future: But the future of leadership? It’s about heart. It’s about empathy, compassion, and connection. True leadership will be defined by how deeply we understand and care for our teams. It’s about creating environments where people feel valued, heard, and inspired.
Why does this matter? Because teams thrive when leaders lead with heart. Emotional intelligence, kindness, and authentic connection are the qualities that will drive success in the future.
How many of today’s leaders (coaches, bosses, teachers) lead with heart? I had a coach, Debbie Hill (who I reference all the time), that 100% led with heart and was very rare 30 years ago. Now? I’m pretty sure it’s mostly non-existent. Are you struggling to reach your team? Examine the possibility that physical strength, authority and dominance might not be the answer!
Let’s commit to evolving as leaders, embracing not just the power of the brain🧠, but the strength of the heart❤️.
