This is Part 3 of a 3-part series on the collapse of outdated leadership models. We’re looking at where it’s failing, why it’s crumbling, and most importantly, what we’re building instead.

Because rejecting old leadership models isn’t enough. We need a new blueprint.

The Old Way is Dying. Now What? 

When we started this series, I laid out the problem: Most leadership models were never built to work for everyone. 

We’ve watched leadership structures fail, double down, and implode - from the coaching industry to corporate America, from performative DEI initiatives to outdated “Lean In” feminism.

We don’t need more proof that the old way isn’t working.

We need to decide what we’re creating instead. 

Because if we’re not building something better, we’re just playing by the same rules with different people at the top.

And I don’t know about you, but I didn’t come here to rearrange the deck chairs. I came to build a better damn ship. 

The New Leadership Model: What It Looks Like in Action 

This isn’t about swapping out one “boss” for another. It’s about redefining leadership at its core. 

The new leadership model isn’t about who holds power, it’s about how power is structured, shared, and used. 

Here’s what that actually looks like, on a Tuesday at 2 PM, in real life:

Decisions Are Clearer - Because You’re Not Waiting for Permission 

Old leadership: You second-guess every decision, trying to predict the “right” move so you don’t get it wrong.

New leadership: You make decisions from a place of clarity, because you know how to trust yourself, advocate for what matters, and navigate pushback like a pro.

You Have More Influence - Because You Know How to Use Your Voice 

Old leadership: You stay quiet in meetings, hesitate to speak up, and replay conversations in your head afterward, wondering if you should have said more.

New leadership: You own your seat at the table. And when you see a problem, you don’t just name it. You drive the conversation toward solutions. 

You’re Not Burnt Out - Because You’re Not Playing by Broken Rules 

Old leadership: Success means grinding harder, sacrificing yourself, and proving your worth through exhaustion.

New leadership: You work smarter, not harder, knowing that boundaries, balance, and well-being aren’t optional - they’re part of sustainable, effective leadership. 

You Create More Change - Because You’re Not Stuck in Reaction Mode 

Old leadership: You feel powerless to change things, because every move feels like an uphill battle.

New leadership: You know how to leverage influence, relationships, and momentum to create real, lasting impact, without burning yourself out.

This Is the Leadership That Takes Us Forward 

If the old leadership model is a death rattle, this is what comes next. 

It’s bold, sustainable, and built for impact. 

It’s leadership that doesn’t require burnout, exhaustion, or proving yourself 24/7. 

And it’s the opposite of waiting for permission.

Because if we want leadership that actually works for more people, we have to create it.

Let's do it now.

Your Next Step: Six Weeks to Powerful Leadership Moves 

I’m putting together a 6-week coaching program designed to help you make bold, decisive leadership moves, without hesitation, over-explaining, or second-guessing.

I'll be opening spots up in the next week. 

This is your chance to step into your next level of leadership, fast.

In six weeks, you’ll: 

• Cultivate more power and influence, without faking confidence or proving yourself endlessly.
• Speak with authority, so people listen, respect, and respond. 
• Handle a hard conversation or big leadership move, without regret, spiraling, or hesitation.
• Finally make a decision you’ve been circling for months, and feel solid in it.

If you want in on this power move, email me at [email protected] and I’ll send you the details as soon as doors open. 

The future you want is waiting for you on the other side of the conversations you've been avoiding.

Here’s what I want to know: 

• What part of this new leadership model feels like a breath of fresh air to you?
• What part feels like the hardest shift to make?
• Where do you see this kind of leadership already emerging? 

Drop a comment and let’s talk.

You've got more power than you know. it's time to use it.
