Many of the leadership teams I work with are perpetually stuck in the weeds. They add value about 3 levelss below where they should be. This yields two brutal outcomes. First, while you’re trapped in the weeds, no one is paying attention to the opportunities and threats emerging in the outside environment. The risk of being negatively impacted by outside forces grows. Second, while you’re mucking about in the weeds, you’re tromping all over the autonomy of the people whose job it is to be doing that work. So they perform way below their potential. Learn diagnostics to assess your teams in this area and ways to move them to higher levels of performance.
