I have always struggled to create an simpler way to describe how to asses how staff and teams work together and own their work. Yesterday I finally thought of a new way to simplify what so many of us are experiencing but cannot describe easily enough to find a way to identify what is working well and what is not working well. Its a new concept for me and I was excited to share so let me know what you think!

How many times do you have a solution but wont be the one to carry it forward? To many leaders this predicament happens often. When I started I always thought my job was to push my team all the way to the solution but then I realized that approach yielded poor results and cost me more time and energy and stole my teams motivations. This episode talks about a strategy I now have that works far better, is way easier, and yields much better results!
Enjoy

Unfortunately that lie can go on for years at the cost of yourself and your organization. This episode breaks down that lie and how to shift your focus so things do eventually get better.
