The why, what, and how.\n<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
\n

It\u2019s tempting for leaders to fall into the habit of telling people what to do and how to do it. It can seem faster, more controllable, and guaranteed to succeed, but it shuts down team creativity and ownership, places a huge burden on the leader, and destroys trust.<\/p>\n

Effective leaders are clear about the value and contribution of their team\u2019s work to the organization because they align it to the organizational priorities. Effective leaders define and communicate the team\u2019s goals and desired results. They clarify the significant outcomes that represent fulfillment and success for their team. And they ultimately delegate the work while providing the right level of support.<\/p>\n

To be an effective leader, individuals must shift from thinking \u2018I tell team members what to do and how to do it\u2019 to \u2018I help team members get clear about the \u201cwhy\u201d behind the \u201cwhat\u201d and support them in the \u201chow.\u201d\u2019<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/span>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Scalable Engagement<\/h2>

If people are doing their jobs solely because their boss told them to, team engagement becomes diminished. If leaders tell their teams exactly how to debug the code, write the grant application, or achieve a goal\u2014they\u2019ll be doing the same thing a year from now. It\u2019s not scalable.<\/p>\n

In contrast, the effective mindset helps teams become invested in decisions and understand the big picture behind the daily grind. Great leaders plan goals with their teams rather than for them, and delegate tasks without abandoning or micromanaging.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

The challenge is to create a shared view of what is important\u2014what matters most.<\/h2>\n
