What happens when the very behaviours that made someone successful are the ones they need to let go of to become a great leader?

Over the past two years, we've had the privilege of partnering with more than 500 leaders at Australian Red Cross Lifeblood, seeing first-hand the leadership culture Stephen Cornelissen AM and his team are intentionally building. In this episode of Leading Generous Teams, Stephen reflects on one of the biggest shifts leaders face: moving beyond expertise, stepping out of the detail and creating the conditions for others to thrive.

Stephen's reflections on leading in complex, purpose-driven environments offer practical lessons for any leader wanting to spend less time solving every problem and more time building capability across their team.

In this episode:

• Why the shift from manager to leader starts with getting out of the weeds
• How to create capability instead of dependency by changing where you get your sense of value
• Practical ways to protect thinking time and lead with greater perspective under pressure
