ABSTRACT

The final step in a leader’s journey is often the most elusive – freedom – giving employees space by stepping back and letting them deliver. The objective is to step back, but not step away. Leaders shift their focus from the work of delivery onto the work of people. What leaders do to achieve their own mastery, they must also nurture in the people around them. Their ongoing effort is focused on staying in the future domain, interrogating reality, promoting inclusion, managing behavior, having conversations, monitoring performance, and providing support to people and the organization.
