In this episode of The Leaders Kit Bag, I’m digging into a common but critical leadership flaw: becoming the bottleneck in your team’s decision-making process.
When every decision must run through you, progress stalls, opportunities are lost, and teams become disengaged.
Drawing on principles from military leadership and practical business tools, I’ll show you how to break that logjam and build a team of empowered, capable decision-makers.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why ego and fear are the hidden drivers behind over-controlling leadership
- How to apply Susan Scott’s Decision Tree (read my blog) to streamline team decisions https://www.ben-morton.com/the-decision-tree-a-smarter-approach-to-delegation/
- What the military principle of Mission Command can teach us about effective delegation
- How to give up control without losing oversight
By giving others the autonomy to lead within clear boundaries, we not only free ourselves up to focus on what really matters – we also grow more leaders in the process.
