Learning from your team

Hi again,

I hope you and yours are well.

Today’s story is about shifting perspective and letting the team lead.

An executive I worked with decided to take inspiration directly from her team, making her leadership adaptive and rooted in real-time feedback.

Here’s how she adapted:

  • Observed team behaviors to understand their needs rather than assume.
  • Asked her team for feedback on her leadership style.
  • Adjusted based on her team’s input.

The insights she gained helped her lead in a more responsive and effective way.

Your reflection: Are you letting your team teach you, or do you always feel you need to lead?

If you want help putting this into practice, not just reading about it, Leadership Development is where I'd start.
