Agile leaders spend more time on strategy, less on operations .A study by Bain highlighted that Agile leaders understand that good ideas can come from anyone, so they view their job as helping team members learn and take responsibility, rather than telling every team member what to do and how to do it. This frees them up to create more value by focusing on the tasks they are truly best positioned to tackle, such as developing corporate strategy and sponsoring major cross-functional innovations.
Making informed decisions is more crucial than ever in leading organisations to greatness. Leadership Pulse is a capsule of last’s week’s unfolding dynamics ….a great way to prepare your plans for week ahead.
