Want a team that takes ownership, solves problems, and innovates?
Start by giving them the credit.
When things go right, elevate your team.
When things go wrong, take the hit.
I once worked with a producer who said his job was to pick up sword and shield and protect his team from the client when needed.
That left a mark. (What up, Dan.)
That’s leadership.
It’s not about being the hero.
It’s about building others up until they don’t need you anymore.
