driver's seat

Are you the only one driving?

 

As leaders, it may be an instinctive desire to remain in the driver's seat. Though offering direction is certainly an important part of the role, it's also about offering a platform where people can do their best work. Your extensive experience in strategy development, strategic planning, and strategic forward-thinking should be leveraged, but taking a step back to reflect on where you want things to be, and then quickly moving to include others in the process is equally essential. The alternative may sustain blind spots, greatly limit your own thinking, disengage your team, and risk driving a business to extinction.
