Leader or Control Freak: Choose Your Dance!
Steve Lowisz
Founder “Guide, Don’t Drive?” Leadership Movement, 2 Time TEDx Speaker, Keynote Speaker, CEO, Investor, Board Member. Inspiring leaders to Get Real and Lead.
Stop playing puppet-master, leaders; micromanaging is suffocating your team! It's like being the helicopter parent that never lets their kid fail; sure, you're shielding them from harm, but at what cost? At the expense of their growth, their confidence, and their potential - that's what.
It's time to stop spoon-feeding answers; problem-solving isn't a solo gig, leaders. It's about forging an atmosphere where ideas come alive, where innovation thrives. You gotta stop being the answer booth and start being the guide; let them follow your footsteps, not your orders.
Enough with the Dictatorship!
I've been the control freak, the dictator, the know-it-all boss. And guess what? It sucks! It's a demoralizing trap that chains your team's potential. It's time to cut the strings and let your team fly.
The Baker's Dozen - No More Sugar-coated Solutions!
I ditched telling my team what to do and instead created the 'Baker's Dozen Questions.' A direct way to poke their brain, to turn the gears of critical thinking. They stopped waiting for answers and started owning their decisions. And man, the transformation was jaw-dropping!
