The old model of leadership is fading. Today’s most effective leaders don’t lead from ego — they lead from empathy.

In this powerful episode of The CJ Moneyway Show, I sit down with [Isabelle] to unpack the rise of human-centered leadership — a movement rooted in emotional intelligence, transparency, and trust.

We explore why command-and-control no longer works, how to lead without losing yourself, and the skills that define 21st-century leadership — especially in high-pressure environments. From corporate teams to creatives, this conversation is a blueprint for anyone leading with purpose.

In this episode, we cover:

• The mindset shift from control to connection
• Why emotional intelligence is now a leadership non-negotiable
• The silent power of listening
• How to lead through conflict without manipulation
• The future of leadership in a post-pandemic, AI-driven world
