Rolling your sleeves up: Is this leading from the front?
Description
Episode #88 // It’s difficult to lead properly or act at a more strategic level, if your boss expects you to have a very hands-on component to your role.
Some larger organisations these days seem desperate to become more entrepreneurial, and to ‘transform’. To do this, they are trying to mimic start ups. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could all be tech unicorns?!
What it means in practice, though, is that people in senior leadership positions are expected to roll their sleeves up and work alongside their teams, buried in the detail.
We cover a lot of ground in this episode, from innovation theory, to micromanagement, to what it really means to lead from the front.
You're still doing the work your team should own. And you can't see a way to stop.
Leadership Beyond the Theory is 9 weeks of practical reps that get you out of the weeds and hand delivery back to your team.
Taught by Martin Moore, who ran a multi-billion dollar company before he taught any of this. 3,000+ leaders from 150+ organisations. 99% would recommend.
