Episode Summary:

Most leadership frameworks weren’t built for today’s world. They were built for control—not transformation. In this episode of The Game Changer with Dr. Sharalyn, we expose the outdated models silently sabotaging your influence and impact—and lay out the new leadership models that drive innovation, trust, and legacy-building change.

If you’re tired of leading from a playbook that no longer works, this episode will show you how to break the mold, redefine your leadership identity, and build a future-ready organization.

• Why Command-and-Control leadership is obsolete—and what’s replacing it

• The 4 new models of leadership: Game Changer, Ultra Influential™, Credible™, and Change Agent™

• How to blend leadership styles to build agility, trust, and transformation

• Why being the “hero” is holding your team back—and what true legacy leadership looks like

• A strategic question to reveal which mold you need to break next
