In this episode, we debunk the myth of the alpha leader, prevalent in both animal behavior and workplace management. Originally based on observations of wolves in captivity, the concept of dominance has been misunderstood. Learn how social structures in the wild, from wolves to horses, rely on trust and collaboration rather than hierarchy. Discover how these insights can be applied to human relationships and leadership roles at work. Join the discussion on transforming leadership from dominance to trust-based collaboration and see how it can improve your team dynamics and productivity.
