The Great Myth of Leadership
Friday, 10 April, 2026

Welcome to Leadership Chemistry, the rebranded show where we study the composition, structure, and reactions that make leadership actually work. In this debut episode, Danny takes a sledgehammer to what he calls The Great Myth of Leadership — the pervasive idea that "jerks get results." Using examples from business and sports, the research on dark personalities, and a clear-eyed look at long-term impact, Danny lays out why empathetic, thoughtful leaders are not only the more humane choice, but the more effective one. If you've ever felt like the loud, brash, dominant leaders get all the credit while you do the real work — this episode is your permission slip to lead differently.
