Turn Team Members into Self-Directed Contributors
from Leading at a Higher Level: Blanchard on Leadership and Creating High Performing Organizations by Kenneth H. Blanchard
How to Apply This
-
Share More Information With Everyone. Identify one area where information is usually kept at the top (finances, strategy, or customer feedback) and begin sharing it regularly with the whole team.
-
Set Boundaries That Allow For Autonomy. Define 1–2 clear boundaries or guidelines, then let team members make decisions within those limits. For instance, set a budget range but let them choose how to allocate it.
-
Replace Old Hierarchies With Self-Directed Teams. Pick a project or problem and create a cross-functional team empowered to design and implement solutions, rather than relying solely on managers.
