Forget Management 95: Why Command and Control Is Dead

Unpacked with Ron Harvey

Lior Arussy shares why leadership is no longer about being the invincible authority with all the answers, but about embracing vulnerability and taking action when you don't know what the right thing to do is. This fundamental shift transforms how we connect with teams, build trust, and foster genuine engagement.
• Vulnerability in leadership means strategically sharing stories that activate others to join your journey
• Employee engagement comes from understanding impact and having the tools/authority to get work done
• "Response-able" is giving people both the responsibility and the ability to respond
• Command and control leadership is dead – exceptional performance comes from personal choice
• Stories, not data, drive people to action and inspire meaningful change
• The "gratitude denial syndrome" robs leaders of insights about their superpowers
• Organizations must choose: are they processes operated by people or people using processes?
• Three key challenges: AI changing customer relationships, developing leaders in hybrid settings, and delivering "one and only" experiences
• Choose customers carefully – wrong customers consume resources needed for the right ones
Check out Lior's new book "Dare to Author" which helps leaders convert past experiences into future resilience and tools to face uncertainty.
