Let Your Leaders Lead
Do you ever feel reluctant to give the people you lead big challenges? How do you know when it's time to push an employee out of the nest to allow them to grow as a leader? When we step back, we can give our people a chance to problem solve, shine, and build a sense of ownership. In this episode, Dr. Janet Pilcher shares powerful leadership lessons from a former park ranger. Listen as she references an article written by this former park ranger who offers leaders five tips and discusses why leaders will want to rethink swooping in to save people "lost in the forest."
This episode addresses questions, such as
- Why should I challenge my people with tough opportunities?
- When looking at obstacles, what should leaders be wary of?
- Why should leaders be able to lead with "the bare minimum"?
