What makes a good leader? Today, I take a look at the numbers and share what they tell us, taking a look at what the top 40% of leaders have to say about leadership.
In this episode, I talk about the job of a leader. I explain why a leader can’t be selfish, and I note the difference between empowering your team by presenting a challenge to solve, and simply telling them what to do. I share why you should avoid micromanaging, and I liken a leader to a parent. I talk about why you should be training your team to take over your job, and even to do it better than you. I talk about the importance of feedback and of making your expectations clear, and I discuss how important it is for your team to have clear goals.
“Without goals, we’re in the dark about what is expected of us.”
