Evaluating Leadership for Sustainability
Leaders should focus on developing their team's capabilities to ensure continued performance even after they transition out of their roles. Traditional evaluation methods often fail to emphasize how well a leader prepares their team for the future. By fostering talent and autonomy among team members, leaders can create a sustainable work environment that thrives in their absence. This shift in mindset is crucial for redefining leadership success beyond immediate results to long-term influence and impact.
