Is Traditional Leadership Still Relevant in the Social Media Era?

Clip from my interview with executive coach and global leadership expert Eddie Turner

For decades, we’ve believed great leadership is built on mindset, character, credibility, and competence. But in today’s algorithm-driven world, visibility often trumps values.

So I asked Eddie: Is conventional leadership still relevant? Or has influence become the new authority?

Eddie shares a thoughtful response rooted in experience and research in this clip. We explore:
1. How social media is reshaping the leadership landscape
2. The difference between authority and influence
3. Why Jack Welch-style leadership no longer fits today’s workplace
4. What modern leaders must do to stay relevant and trusted

This conversation is a wake-up call for professionals, executives, and emerging leaders alike.
