Listen "The Paradox of Control"
Episode Synopsis
Are you holding on too tightly to the reins of your organization? In this episode of Future Fit with Friska, we dive into the paradox of control—a leadership trap that can stifle innovation, erode trust, and slow down organizational change. Ironically, the more control we seek, the less adaptable and resilient our teams become. Drawing on real-world examples, research, and personal reflections, Friska unpacks why learning to let go is not just about relinquishing power, but about unlocking potential.
Join us as we explore the key lessons and strategies for leaders to embrace a mindset of empowerment and flexibility. You’ll learn a powerful five-step roadmap to letting go of control, foster trust, and scale change across your organization. If you’re ready to transform micromanagement into a culture of collaboration, this is the episode for you.
Key Topics We Discuss:
• What the paradox of control is and how it hinders organizational transformation.
• Why "letting go" is essential for creating agility, innovation, and trust.
• A practical five-step roadmap to shift from control to empowerment.
• A leadership metaphor that reveals why trying to control everything often backfires.
• Real-life case studies of organizations that thrived by loosening control—and those that failed by clinging to it.
• Personal lessons from Friska’s career on the power of empowering teams.
• Probing questions to reflect on your leadership style and first steps to build trust.
