Key Takeaways
- Leader-Leader Model: Marquet challenges the traditional Leader-Follower model, arguing that empowering each member of the team to think and make decisions like leaders can transform an organization. This contrasts with the conventional approach where only the people at the top make decisions.
- For the Leader-Leader model to work, two critical elements must be in place: competence and clarity. Everyone must be fully competent in their roles, and the organization’s mission and goals must be clear to all members. This enables individuals to make informed decisions that align with the organization’s objectives.
- Give control, not orders
- Mistakes should be seen as learning opportunities. Creating an environment where team members can openly share and discuss failures and lessons learned fosters innovation and improvement.
- Empowerment Leads to Engagement
- Always question the status quo
What I got out of it
