Leadership involves embracing new strategies and approaches that allow managers to make the positive impact they long for and become the best supervisors. Managers must overcome their own power gaps, expand their ability to learn from critique and found new ways to be more inclusive in their leadership approach. They must built more psychological safety in their organizations, and reduced the divisiveness and conflict in their ecosystems and work cultures.
