The traditional approach to leadership is best described as the pursuit and maintenance of power over people. However, this isn’t the most effective method. The “leading through” paradigm engages middle managers and employees of all levels so that leadership is a collaborative effort which leaves everyone feeling valued, seen, and in turn, more motivated.
