Leadership evolution problem you can change in 2026

𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗮𝗻 𝗻𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗱, “Modern humans have radically changed the way they work and the way that they live. Companies need to change the way they manage and lead to match the way that modern humans actually work and live.”

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸:

Your employees are no longer willing to be managed like it’s 1995, wearing wireless headsets and pretending the fax machine is a coworker.

Work isn’t a place anymore. It’s a concept. A kitchen table. A Slack thread that somehow became a therapy session. A Zoom camera that’s strategically angled to hide both laundry and your kids arguing in the background.

And yet… many leaders are still trying to manage people like they’re stationed in cubicles the size of shoeboxes, fueled by burnt coffee and fear of “the boss walking by.”

Modern workers value autonomy, meaning, flexibility, and psychological safety.

But most leadership systems were built for control, compliance, and clock-watching.

𝑰𝒕’𝒔 𝒂 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑 𝒆𝒗𝒐𝒍𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒃𝒍𝒆𝒎.

Culture today isn’t about posters on the wall or foosball tables. It’s about how people feel on Sunday night when they think about Monday morning.

It’s about whether they feel trusted or monitored. Valued or tolerated. Human or “resource.”

The companies that are winning right now aren’t louder.

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆’𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗿.

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆’𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗱𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸… 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁.

They are willing to‘𝘀𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻’ and evolve.

And no, letting people wear hoodies on Zoom isn’t “modern leadership.” That’s just a dress code update.

The real work is redesigning how decisions are made, how people are heard, and how leaders show up when things get uncomfortable.

𝗦𝗼, 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀:

What do you think I mean when I create organizations that are 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲®?

And are you building a workplace for modern humans… or managing it like everyone still has a fax machine and a fear of asking for time off?

You can change this for 2026. I’m here to help.
