About this episode
If you think you’re a maverick leader it’s probably time to put on the brakes … your shelf-life may be short. Every once in a while, companies go through a tornado of sorts, where chaos reigns supreme in the name of change. What are the dangers of disruptive leaders? When is it appropriate to hire or be one and what does it mean for the existing guard? Takeaways + Tactics As leaders, we can’t just steamroll everyone. Listen to those you lead, rather than forcing your will. Mature wisdom and youthful energy both have merits- they should be paired together, not pitted against one another. Disruptive leaders aren’t always inherently ‘bad’. ‘Tornado boss’, head to companies that need drastic change.
