Let Them Lead - by Dan Crompton

About the Book

Learn how to build a team that truly cares about their work with this practical guide to managing today's workforce.

Book Synopsis

You may not have been taught this, but the best way to lead a team is to step back and let them take the reins.

The workforce is changing, and many managers, newly promoted and having received no training in how to lead their teams, end up creating a culture in which their teams are reliant on them to function, preventing them from taking ownership of their work. Additionally, employees are more conscious of their value than ever before, and after the pandemic, they've had access to a level of flexibility that they're not willing to give up. In this cocktail of conflicting demands, managers are lost, and it's not their fault.

Let Them Lead provides you with an unconventional toolbox of techniques and strategies to help you develop your own management style, one that is tailored specifically to the new workforce. Once you have that, you'll understand how to cultivate a team that wants to be there - whether they're working from home or in person. You'll learn to stop answering all the questions and start leading a team that actually cares.

Themes include: leadership mindset, hybrid team dynamics, people-first culture, strategic management, autonomy and ownership, modern workforce engagement
