Hey Friend,
If you've read my book "The Dynamic Leader," you know I'm all about empowering individuals and teams. Why? Because the minute you start trusting your people to make adult decisions and take the reins, you're stepping away from the dreaded do-it-all-yourself route that leads straight to career ceilings and burnout.
The absolute number #1 reason to empower your people is so you can hold them accountable without it getting weird or uncomfortable. We've all been there—sweaty-palmed, heart racing, dreading the 'tough talk'. But guess what? If you've invested in the empowerment groundwork, with clear expectations and congruent commitments, these conversations can actually be, dare I say, enjoyable? Yep, I said it.
When you can crank up the trust and communication cycle—you empower, they step up, you check-in, trust builds, and before you know it, you're doing it with less effort each time. It's like that science thing, perpetual motion, but for your team's culture.
If you're nodding along and thinking, "I need me some of that," I've got just the thing. On Tuesday, 14th of November, my Lead to Empower program is kicking off in partnership with Auscontact Association. It's the perfect chance to dive in and really get your empowerment rhythm going.
Don't do more...do different!
Shelley 😁
