Show Notes

Positional leadership is a dangerous form of leadership that relies heavily on authority to motivate and control people.

This type of leadership includes direct orders, threats, and intimidation to get results.

It can be effective in short-term situations or when managing large groups of people that require strict structure and order. However, it has significant drawbacks as it does not cultivate an environment that encourages creativity and innovation.

Key points:

  1. Don't promote friends "just because"

  2. Don't promote longevity

  3. Never stop learning

  4. What got you here won't get you there (us included!)
