How are you supporting and developing your new leaders? You know you should, and you want to, but you’ve got bigger fish to fry right now and given you’re running around at 100 mph, we’re guessing there isn’t much of that happening.

We get it. You need results today and traditionally, developing leaders takes time, money and effort, so we don’t blame you for kicking it down the road. But why do we expect our leaders to excel when, more often than not, we throw them in the deep end, leaving them to fend for themselves?

So how do you support and develop your leaders without compromising today? How do you enable them to set the pace, instead of running to keep up? How do they go from taking instructions to taking ownership; from giving you work, to giving you space to set direction and grow?
