How to transition into leadership like a leader, not a manager

May 5, 2025

It’s Tactical Tuesday!

Here is the Thought, Tip, and Tool of the week...

___________________________

The Thought

Did you know... "Leaders who focus on empowerment see up to 80% better results in team performance and morale," according to a study by Gallup. By shifting your mindset from manager to leader, you create an environment where your team thrives.

Quote:
"Leadership is not about being the best. It's about making everyone else better." – Bill Gates

___________________________

The Tip

Remember to… Stop solving every problem for your team. Instead, ask empowering questions like, “What’s your plan?” and “What do you see as the next steps?” This will help your team members take ownership of challenges and develop their own problem-solving skills.
