Best Leadership Advice? Don’t Be a Leader
What if the best leadership advice isn’t to lead at all?
In this episode of The Business Game, we explore a powerful, counterintuitive approach to leadership, leading from the bottom, prioritizing connection over content, and having the hard conversations most leaders avoid.
Our guests share why leadership isn’t about hierarchy or ego, how avoiding small issues creates big problems, and why servant leadership builds stronger, more resilient teams - especially in modern, distributed workplaces.
If you’re a founder or leader who wants to build trust, clarity, and real momentum, this episode will challenge how you think about leadership.
