What if the traditional view of leadership—an individual who is assertively bold, visionary, and all-powerful—was actually harmful? What if leadership is not about commanding authority but interpersonal relationships, collaboration, self-awareness, and authenticity?
In this episode of the Value Creators Podcast, Hunter Hastings speaks with Josefine Campbell, international business coach and author of 12 Tools for Managing a Selfish Leader: Unlocking Authenticity for Resilience. Josefine shares how toxic leadership dynamics can damage organizations and individuals—and how employees and leaders alike can protect themselves and build resilience.
Key insights include:
- Why the traditional leadership myth is outdated and how a more human-centered approach is needed.
- How selfish leaders manipulate employees and erode company culture.
- The role of energy management in maintaining resilience against toxic leadership.
- Why self-awareness and authenticity are essential for outstanding leadership.
- The importance of corporate culture in preventing toxic leadership behaviors.
- Practical tools like the Awareness Matrix and Values Lighthouse to help individuals navigate difficult leadership situations.
Whether you're a leader striving to improve or an employee dealing with a challenging manager, this episode offers valuable tools to foster authenticity, resilience, and ethical leadership. Learn how to protect yourself from toxic leadership and embrace a leadership model that works for the 21st century.
