26 Loss of Control: How to Steer When Change Takes the Helm 

In Episode 26 of Behind the Curtain, Dr. Mohamed Saleh and John Dyer dive into one of the most challenging dynamics of organizational change and leadership change resistance: navigating the loss of control during times of change. As leaders shift from the familiar role of the “firefighter hero” to empowering their teams as the true heroes, they face a profound identity shift. How do we retire that hero’s cap and elevate others through recognition and a reward system that celebrates the best coaches, not just the problem solvers? We explore how reframing leadership with thought-provoking questions redefines the role’s quality.
But when leaders find themselves steering through uncharted waters, how do they find their compass? This episode tackles the complexities of leading in the unknown and the powerful source of fuel that drives leaders to willingly give up power, even when facing uncertainty. Tune in for an enlightening conversation on recalibrating leadership in the midst of transformation.
