Successful leadership in the 21st century is about empowerment, not control.
— The world’s largest accommodation provider owns no hotels and employs no chambermaids. Instead it empowers guests and bedroom owners to find each other, negotiate, and make bookings. (Airbnb)
— The world’s most popular media company produces no content but instead empowers people to create what matters to them and to share what is worth sharing. (Facebook)
— The world’s largest taxi company owns very few vehicles. Mostly it empowers drivers and customers to find each other and form a contract. (Uber)
Successful leadership in the 21st century isn’t about control. It’s about blurring the traditional lines between ‘customers’ and ’employees’ and instead then finding ways simply to empower ‘people’ to do what they want to do.
As the rate of global change accelerates, our ability to control anything for very long reduces.
To create results that last we need to encourage people to choose our way of doing things. The best way of doing that is by inspiring and empowering them.
The Churning’s Inner Leadership provides tools and an integrated approach for inspiring and empowering yourself and other people.
