About

The first reaction of most new leaders is to take on more work—it's a natural reflex.  How else can they be sure their project gets done right?  But the more the leader takes on, the less motivated the team members become.  The greatest challenge for team leaders is to let go of their work. The leader's job is to provide the tools, motivation and direction the team members need to do the work itself.  Unfortunately, many leaders get no formal training in running a team.  "Giving Leadership Away" can help both new and experienced leaders take on that challenge.

In this video, a newly promoted team leader learns that giving leadership away is not as easy as it seems.  The solution comes surprisingly from a jar of Legos and some unconventional advice.  They provide him with the direction he needs to begin sharing leadership and fostering everyone's potential.
