Leader or Boss: What Actually Makes the Difference

There's a line Shana Francesca uses that stops people: leaders have relationships, bosses have power.

It sounds simple. The implications aren't.

Shana is a TEDx speaker, keynote speaker, and founder of Concinnate LLC, where she works with organizations on what she calls intentional and ethical leadership. Her framework — built over 16 years of research she originally did for herself — centers on three things every relationship requires: curiosity, respect, and accountability. She'll argue that without all three, working together, what you're calling leadership is actually control. And control has a shelf life.

In this live conversation with Jackie Domanus on Idea Citizen Live, Shana walks through:

• How she defines curiosity, respect, and accountability — and why the definitions matter more than most people realize

• Why curiosity without respect is intrusive, and respect without curiosity is uneducated
