Leadership & Management Training, Strategy Planning & Execution for Leadership Effectiveness

Leaders Roles For Results

Technician - There is always some sort of fire - an urgent situation requiring a solution. The allure of urgency is magnetic for leaders. Short-term satisfaction is the reward. "If you want it done right, do it yourself," is not leadership. Play the technician role in a way that teaches others to extinguish future fires. Expect them to do so - without you.
