Giving Leadership Away

The first reaction of most new leaders is to take on more work - it's a natural reflex. How else can they be sure their project gets done right? But the more the leader takes on, the less motivated the team members become. The greatest challenge for team leaders is to let go of their work. The leader's job is to provide the tools, motivation and direction the team members need to do the work itself. Unfortunately, many leaders get no formal training in running a team.

Leaders in today's organizations must learn to let go of their work, to share leadership with team members. This program demonstrates that responsibility for a group's success rests on all team members, not the leader alone. The purpose of this training session is to illustrate techniques for sharing leadership and maximizing everyone's abilities.

The outcome of your leadership training program will be:

• Establishment of common goals
  
• Allowing people to do their jobs
  
• Agreeing on levels of responsibility
  
• Holding individuals accountable
  
• Keeping your team focused on goals
