Authority is earned, not bestowed
Episode description
You can't just show up with a title, a fancy business card and a corner office and expect your team to give you the authority you need to lead. You earn authority by working "with" your team, not "above" them.
In this episode Michael and Chris talk about how to develop the kind of credibility with your team that will allow you to lead effectively.
Here's the book we mention in the podcast: Credibility by Barry Posner and James Kouzes
