Design Leaders - Decision-Making

There are many, many design leaders who have not had the opportunity to really exercise the muscles they're actually going to use as leaders before the role was given to them. This also gets into why you hear so many leaders waxing philosophical about the days that they got to do the creative work because they become people managers where they just have to give performance reviews. If we worked decision-making and peer leadership and modeling more into our Junior to mid-levels, we wouldn't have a crisis of what leaders are supposed to do.
