Authority Issues

The Art of Accomplishment

ADVICE

Maintaining Humanity in Authority

  • Emphasize relatability and avoid defensiveness, especially when challenged. Admitting fallibility can build trust and encourage others to test ideas.
  • Delegate tasks to everyone, regardless of their position. This reinforces teamwork and shared responsibility.
  • Encourage bidirectional feedback and action assignments to promote a sense of equality and shared ownership.
  • Recognize that relinquishing authority also means abandoning the idea of absolute right and wrong. This transition can be challenging, particularly for those moving from established corporate roles to entrepreneurship, where the perceived safety net of authority disappears.
