E47 The Fine Line: Leadership, Power, and Transformation with Ed Gurowitz
Description
Anne with author and transformational expert Ed Gurowitz dive into the fine line between empowerment and exploitation in personal development. Together they explore how transformational tools can be misused, why organizations drift into control and coercion, and what it takes to build safe, ethical spaces for real growth.
Together they unpack the difference between authoritarian vs. collaborative decision-making, the dangers of mistaking “saving the world” for genuine purpose, and how organizations can fall into command-and-control structures rooted in outdated models of power. They also reflect candidly on their personal journeys—what was gained, what was lost, and what must be re-examined if we are to build safe, ethical spaces for transformation today.
This episode is both a critique and an invitation: to question inherited practices, to discern the difference between authentic growth and exploitation, and to imagine more collaborative ways of leading and learning.
