This week’s Leader Fuel episode exposes one of the most dangerous illusions in leadership: mistaking appearance for influence.
Just because someone looks like a leader doesn’t mean they are one. In this episode of Leader Fuel with Dr. Linda Travelute, we expose the dangerous illusion of appearance-based leadership.
You’ll learn why technical expertise or titles aren’t enough, and how to develop the people-first skills that create real influence. From the white coat trap to the People Power Framework™, this episode equips you with head, heart, and hand strategies to lead with impact—not ego.
In fact, The Danger of Looking Like a Leader (But Not Being One) is keeping organizations stuck and people disengaged.
We break it all down, with:
- 🔬 A wild story from VCU Medical School and why they ditched white coats
- ⚠️ What Google learned when they tried to hire based on IQ
- 📦 A lesson from FedEx on empowering people to lead themselves
- 💡 And Dr. Linda's People Power Framework™—the 3 things every real leader must build
