Episode description

A lot of leaders struggle to get their teams to take initiative and assume ownership. They feel like they have to light a fire under them. But there are better ways to help the team take charge that don’t require force.

Gayle Lantz offers ideas on what leaders can do to help their team members be more proactive and take initiative in their work.
