On good leaders

A good leader delegates the goal, and casts vision for the path ahead so it’s clear how they can get there.

A bad leader delegates the task, resulting in a team member stumbling around in the dark wondering what success even looks like.

A good team member wants the goal and the vision so they can do their best work.

A bad team member just wants to get the task done and off their plate already.

The good leader + the bad team member = never going to get it done.
The bad leader + the good team member = never going to get it done.
The bad leader + the bad team member = never going to get it done.
The good leader + the good team member = dangerous.
