Ep. 007: Developing and Empowering Your Team

Bred To Lead

Show Notes

YOU CAN'T DELEGATE UNTIL YOU DUPLICATE AND REGULATE

Good leaders get results through their own heroics. Great leaders get results by making others the heroes. Dr. Jake Tayler Jacobs walks through what that takes, including the story of a leader who wanted to micromanage a struggling team member and instead asked, "Have I been too prescriptive?"

IN THIS EPISODE • Self-determination theory: why autonomy, competence, and relatedness drive real motivation • Moving people from telling to delegating with the Hersey and Blanchard situational leadership model • "When facts change, so do I," and why stagnant leaders build stagnant organizations • Weekly "proud moments" and skip-level lunches that build genuine connection

YOUR CHALLENGE What's one conversation or action you can take this week to empower someone to step more fully into their potential?
