Leadership Buzz

In a recent LinkedIn post, Chris Mullen, Ph.D., SHRM-SCP, offered a compelling insight into the evolving definition of leadership. He writes:

“Future leaders won’t be the smartest in the room—they’ll be the ones who build a room where everyone is empowered to be their smartest.”

This shift—from leader as expert to leader as enabler—reflects what we at TEAMshift see as the future of leadership: collaborative, inclusive, and purpose-driven.

Chris’s post is a reminder that leadership today isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about creating the conditions where others can thrive. That’s the kind of leadership that transforms teams—and it’s the kind of leadership we champion in every issue of TEAMshift.
