Ep 73 Allowing The Team To Be One Step Ahead Of The Leader- Tom Miner Part 1
The leader of today, recognizes that the "busy" leader is NOT the effective leader.
The effective leader will trust the team, delegate appropriately and empower the team to make decisions AND make mistakes. Strong leaders will observe and support and recognize the team is normally one step ahead of them.
In this interview and leadership training from the Leading Through Chaos Summit, Tom Miner shares his experience of leading teams during crisis and emergencies and how to lead effectively after leading in less than normal circumstances in 2020 & 2021.
"We must take the normal business model and scrap it" what used to work is not going to work anymore. Leaders must be agile and able to pivot quickly to stay relevant. If we take care of the people, they will take care of the business.
