How to Re-Empower a Team Leader

A senior executive worries that his lieutenants are not being taken seriously by the senior leadership team. He discusses with a coach how to help his rising leaders accelerate their growth. This is that conversation.     

We created a new free Essential Tool for you called “Executive Thinking.” It illustrates the “altitude” analogy Tom told during the episode. It also supports one of the four exercises you can do with your team.

Additional Essential Tools that support other exercises are “Before You Write Your Presentation” and “Sorting & Labeling.”

Liberating Structures is the free resource Tom was raving about. The specific exercise he mentioned was TRIZ. 

Tom has talked about Liberating Structures in the episodes “How to Re-engage a Team” and “Leading Offsites.”

If you’re approaching year-end performance reviews, there are tools to support you – no matter which side of the review you’re on! – in Performance Reviews. 

Tom referenced two shows that can help you learn Sorting & Labeling.
