Sure – leaders need to give some space to get best results from the team - makes them accountable as well. And to Scott’s point on “trust” – absolutely – it starts & ends there, as you said.<br /><br />That gives us some food for thought, though. Leaders must recruit the right fits for their team. I believe in recruiting for the “attitude” & if they have that, they can be trained (if needed) and will be able to deliver. That being said, the onus lies on the team members to build that trust. I think that’s 1 of the key points here.Lovelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3068729084407027179.post-27810034969923624622012-07-19T12:35:10.941-04:002012-07-19T12:35:10.941-04:00Thanks Sabrina.

I have a 2.5 year old and already find myself having to let go a little so he can learn to do things for himself - even if that means he spills his juice in order to learn that's what happens when you turn your cup over...<br /><br />In work, I just had to give this feedback to a client. While lamenting that his employees were not being proactive I had to share feedback that maybe they would be if he gave them a little more freedom. It was a tough conversation, but worth it in the end as he realized what he was doing.<br /><br />Thanks for writing this one!Sabrina Bakerhttp://www.acaciahrsolutions.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3068729084407027179.post-23907977103738717432012-07-19T07:49:13.702-04:002012-07-19T07:49:13.702-04:00Thanks Scott.

At the end of the day, these types of "leaders" really don't trust in the talents and abilities of their folks. They are probably used to getting short term results this way, and worse still, have been rewarded for doing so - ie nice quarterly results, etc. However, the damage that is done long(er) term is where the true picture lies. As much as I wish this was/is a generational thing it isn't. It is our role as HR professionals to continually coach our executive teams and supervisory teams on enabling and enpowering their people.<br /><br />PS - Nice Schwarzenneger (sp ?) reference!Scott Boultonhttp://ca.linkedin.com/in/scottrboultonnoreply@blogger.com
