Empower Your Followers

Anthony Bourdain, host of ‘Parts Unknown’

Here are some articles that inspired me this week…

"Leaders should be trained to empower their followers by delegating authority to them on important tasks, giving them as much autonomy as possible, supportively coaching as employees take on more and more responsibilities, sharing as much strategic and important information as possible, and asking for input when making key decisions."

"Companies that encourage rebel talent -- who share five traits: novelty, curiosity, perspective, diversity, and authenticity -- achieve better outcomes."

…and here’s a talk I found particularly interesting:

"Companies are counting on their future leaders to manage with more speed, flexibility and trust than ever before. But how can middle managers climb the corporate ladder while also challenging the way things have always been done? Leadership expert Elizabeth Lyle offers a new approach to breaking the rules while you're on your way up, sharing creative ways organizations can give middle managers the space and coaching they need to start leading differently."
