Leadership has a profound impact on employee well-being, team performance, and organizational culture. Yet, not all leadership experiences are created equal.
In this episode of the Dr. Laura podcast, Dr. Laura Hambley introduces her leadership bell curve model, which explores the range of leadership styles found in today’s organizations, from toxic to truly great. She shares insights into how leadership behaviours shape workplace experiences and what it takes to move toward healthier, more effective leadership.
What You’ll Learn
- The characteristics of toxic, average, and great leadership
- How leadership behaviours impact engagement, retention, and mental health
- Why many organizations struggle to move beyond “average” leadership
- Practical ways leaders can shift toward more effective and supportive approaches
