Lena: Hey everyone, welcome back to another personalized podcast from BeFreed-I'm Lena, and I'm absolutely thrilled to dive into something that's been on my mind lately about leadership and trust.
Eli: And I'm Eli! Oh, this is going to be such a fascinating conversation, Lena. We're exploring this incredible idea from Frances Frei and Anne Morriss that leadership isn't about being the hero-it's about unleashing everyone around you. I mean, that completely flips traditional leadership thinking on its head, doesn't it?
Lena: Exactly! And what I love is how this connects to so many other insights we've been seeing about psychological safety and trust-building. It's like we're finally understanding that the best leaders aren't the ones with all the answers-they're the ones who help others find their answers.
