Empowered teams will transform results, solve problems you didn’t know exist, and rapidly respond to change. Most managers will say they want those outcomes and that they believe in an empowered team, but unintentionally prevent their teams from doing their best. Avoid these common roadblocks and you’ll release your team to be their best: Soak up their time.

Years ago, when I was a rising leader in corporate-land, I worked for a company president who regularly asked a thought-provoking question, “Are we engaging in an adult-to-adult conversation or a parent-child conversation?”. When she asked the question, I don’t think she had in mind the nurturing type of parent-child relationship that most of us would likely prefer, but the type in which the parent is the alpha and the child is the beta.

Leading in Context

By Linda Fisher Thornton Most of the time when we answer a question with a single response, that answer is only part of the picture. We have all seen leaders (who may feel a need to appear decisive) answer quickly without thinking through the implications of their response. When this happens, what they share is oversimplified and "partialized," not a relevant or responsible interpretation of the complex issues involved.

Recent research has suggested that 80% of employees feel stressed due to ineffective communication in their organization ( GoRemotely 2020 ). But employees are not the only ones feeling overwhelmed or stressed by their jobs. Leaders and managers in every industry are struggling more with delegation. With the turnover that so many teams have experienced, new hires are more common – but the challenge of learning to delegate often exists in established workplace cultures.

There was a time, just a couple of decades ago, that change inside organizations was more the exception versus the norm. And the cause of that change was less externally driven – there wasn’t the perpetual risk that if you didn’t adapt, for example, to digital disruption, labor demands, or environmental, social, and governance expectations, you’d be left behind.

I’m sure we’ve all encountered managers who love to hog the limelight and take any credit for collective efforts. Research from Harvard Business School demonstrates how powerful it can be when leaders do the opposite and share the spotlight with their teams. The study found that not only are such managers more likely to retain key talent but are also twice as likely to be promoted to CEO than average.

Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees. What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.

Everyone is searching for meaning in life, but few people know how to find it. The problem is that most people are seeking validation from others rather than living a life that makes them proud. You may be thinking, “Who cares? I’m too busy.” While that’s understandable, if you wait too long to identify the path that’s right for you, you’ll never really know if you’re heading off course.

Companies that strive to be innovative often go to great lengths to ensure conversations happen. Workplaces are designed to encourage serendipitous encounters. Digital tools are offered to provoke conversations in the hope that ideas will percolate and inspiration strike.

People want an empathetic leader. Many managers strive to be one. But ask someone to define the term, and you’re likely to be met with silence. Let’s start with the definition. According to Merriam-Webster, empathy means “the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another.”.

Conflict to Courage. No one likes conflict, especially in the workplace, but avoiding it can lead to bigger issues that, if left unresolved, can negatively impact your team and your business. However, conflict isn’t the problem; mismanagement is. Leaders unintentionally mismanage conflict when they turn towards coping mechanisms and patterns like aggression, avoidance, and appeasing. “Conflict isn’t really the problem; mismanagement is.” -Marlene Chism.
