Do you spend most of your time as a leader putting out fires?
Trying to balance trust that managers will perform independently without losing momentum?
Deciding which roles to keep and which to delegate to managers?
We know that leaders who create an ecosystem of accountability, empowerment and a growth mindset thrive. These cultures exist when leaders are able to delegate duties and allow their team to rise to expectations. When asked, 95% of employees who felt valued by their employer also felt motivated to do their best (American Psychological Association’s Work and Well-Being Survey, 2016). You know that accountability and initiative are key factors to the success of a team, but it can be hard to know how to create the mechanisms and culture to support them. Join us in hearing from a panel of leaders that have supported, advised and done the work of leadership distribution. Hear first hand experience on how and when to release control to managers, what systems need to be in place for sustainable success and what challenges to be on the lookout for.
