QUOTE UNQUOTE

I see huge pressures on managers to raise their leadership game. This isn’t just about getting better at managing; employees demand a new type of leadership authority, one based on influence and involvement not dominance and exclusion. However, this collaborative style of leadership isn’t our taught response. Developing this capacity to leverage individual and collective leadership is in my experience the biggest leverage point and also the biggest blind spot in leadership development.
