That might take some work 😉
Briefly, I have a paternal view of leadership, which is roughly translates as I run organizations like a grad program, and spend about a third of my time on talent, on customers, and on operations. If I have to do more than that I don’t have enough talent. The reason I do this is because I build growth companies, and this means I will always need more leadership next year than this year, and it takes about two to three years to train someone to take inititive and own an initiative.
So I view leadership as support, as education, and as decision making (judgement), given that there is always a scarcity of resources. And like a democratic republic I want to distribute the decision making and knowledge and competency as widely as possible.
In this method everyone seeks their level of competency and they can succeed or fail. This means they determine their career, not me or any ‘manager’.
Now this is my approach because I am CAPABLE of it. There are other leaders who are not capable of it,and must use different organizational structures. There is a long history of academic study of leadershp thru the ages, but it’s not really complicated. There are only three categories. Are oyu inspirational, are you operational, or are you educational? and you must compensate with others and organizations for whatever you aren’t. 😉
