London, April 2018
Effective management is about enabling others to do their best work
As a manager your only job should be to help teams find their own voice and shape their own path to success
Empowered teams go further, churn less and become the self-learning engine at the centre of successful organisations
You don’t know where you are going, so stop giving people directions. Give your team the tools to find their own path
Easier said than done
Like the old Chinese proverb: ‘fish rots from the head’
It starts with you
Do you want a productive team? Be productive
Do you want an inspired team? Be inspired
Do you want ‘fill in the blank’ team? Be it
Start by managing yourself:
Learn about the basic instincts that drive your behaviour and actively manage yourself to direct the outcome
And only once you have acknowledged the full extent of your shortcomings, then manage others
