107: How to Walk the Fine Line of Leadership Without Falling Off

Andrea shares the three key areas where balance is critical to your performance and skill as a leader. If you want to be as effective as possible and successfully lead then you need to learn how to confidently and competently do these three things.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Strong leaders learn how to confidently walk ‘the fine line’ in decision-making.
• You need to get the balance right between transparency and confidentiality, learning when it’s appropriate to share information. Where you are able to be transparent, you should always be so.
• Autonomy allows your team to think creatively and can be a great motivator but it’s essential you still offer the right level of guidance to your employees.
• Flexibility creates a positive work culture but you still need to drive standards within your team as a leader.

BEST MOMENTS

“Shall I intervene, should I make a. decision here, that’s always a question that leaders ask themselves”

“Granting autonomy allows individuals tap into their creativity and motivation”

“A balanced leader really understands when to be flexible and when to enforce accountability to drive results”
