Why I Was Wrong About Leadership... Leadership From MY Lens

Leadership is not about knowing all the answers. It’s about listening to discover.

In Part 1 of this 3-part series, I’m diving deep into Leadership. I used to believe that being a leader meant dominance, power, and having a solution for every problem. My time in the Irish Naval Service and my own journey through life taught me that this old way of thinking is backwards.

In this video, I share my transition from thinking leadership was about "me" to realising it is about "we." We discuss the importance of vulnerability, the role of the "orchestrator," and how balancing masculine and feminine dynamics—specifically listening to your partner—is the ultimate form of leading.

In this video, I cover:

The 3-Part Series: Leadership, Providing, Protecting.

My experience in the Irish Naval Service and what it taught me about rank vs. respect.

Why the "Know-it-all" leader actually fails.

The vital importance of listening to the feminine perspective.

Why you must "Walk the Walk" before you can talk the talk.

Quote of the video:

"True leadership isn't f*cking dominance and power. It's vulnerability. It's admitting you don't know all the answers."
