🎯 Leadership¶
Context, not control. Care, not command.
Leadership at Brax means setting direction, providing context, and empowering people—not micromanaging or hoarding control.
🧭 What Leadership Means Here¶
When you set the right context, people understand the mission, vision, and priorities. They can make good decisions without constant oversight. But this requires a different kind of leadership—one that shifts from controlling activities to building synergy.
🧭 Direction, Not Commands
Leaders ensure the team heads in the right direction and handles change effectively—without disrupting performance.
🤝 Caring Over Controlling
The key to success is embracing the principle of caring for others and giving up control rather than seeking it.
🎯 Context, Not Control
In a Context, not Control environment, leaders coach and guide—not micromanage.
