In this episode, I dive into the shadow side of the Guru model of leadership in transformational spaces. While I've had some amazing experiences with this way of doing things, I feel it actually does more harm than good. It served its purpose, but I feel that we humans are ready for new systems, and new forms of leadership that honor individual sovereignty.
