Yesterday my neighbour Charlie hosted the Monday morning Spin Cycle program on Bay FM – our community radio station here in Byron Bay. His topic for the morning was leadership and he interviewed me about my work as a Leadership Coach. We kept the topic pretty light – January being holiday and beach time around here.
I quoted a piece from the Tao that says When the best leader’s work is done the people say: “We did it ourselves!” Then I told Charlie, and hopefully a few listeners, that I support my clients to be the best they can be; and with those who lead a team, we explore how they might lead in ways that mean their team says, “We did it ourselves”.
Do you agree with the Tao, and me, about this being a measure of an effective leader?
