The definition of an effective leader is evolving.  In today’s fast-paced, ever-evolving business landscape, the traditional model of leadership is undergoing a seismic shift. The days of the "hero leader" — the individual who single-handedly drives success, makes all the decisions, and carries the weight of the team on their shoulders — are numbered. Instead, organizations are recognizing the power of collaborative, coach-like leadership that empowers teams to thrive independently. This shift isn’t just a trend; it’s a necessity for building resilient, innovative, and high-performing teams.
