The challenge

Your leaders carry the team's thinking as well as their own.

  1. 01

    Every decision, however small, waits for the leader, and the leader's calendar has become the team's bottleneck.

  2. 02

    Disagreements between team members land on the leader's desk, who then picks a side and loses one of them.

  3. 03

    Ideas are announced rather than shaped together, so the team nods in the meeting and pushes back afterwards.
