It’s definitely worth doing because the results that come with good leadership are absolutely killer. Leadership is a tricky topic because it can be quite easy to get it wrong and the ripples of how that effects the team, results and behaviors can run far and wide. With that being said, there are a heap of techniques that can be used to empower your team to be able to do a good job and make your life easier as a boss. Some of those techniques are covered in this episode, they can be put in place straight away and the results will follow swiftly after.
