Power is often misunderstood as something leaders must constantly demonstrate. But in reality, leadership frequently fails not because power is absent—but because it is exercised without restraint.
In this episode, Dr. Timothy Stafford examines one of the most unusual features in the animal kingdom: the platypus’ venomous spur. Though capable of inflicting serious harm, the platypus uses its venom sparingly and only in specific contexts. That biological restraint becomes a compelling framework for rethinking leadership power.
This episode reframes effective leadership as the ability to hold power without defaulting to force, and to recognize when restraint builds more trust than domination ever could. It challenges leaders to consider how credibility, influence, and authority are preserved—not through constant assertion, but through disciplined judgment.
This conversation is for leaders who want to wield power wisely, protect trust, and lead with maturity rather than intimidation.
