I came across a great quote recently, thanks to one of the leaders in our inner circle, Natasha Read.
It was a quote from Maria Montessori, who devised the Montessori method of teaching.
The method focuses on the development of a child's inherent initiative and ability, allowing them to develop at their own pace. It emphasises growth through independence and experimentation.
The quote is a blinder… “Everything you do for me, you take from me!”
It hit me like a pie in the face: I immediately thought of the principle of working at level, which is a critical part of the No Bullsh!t Leadership framework.
There are lots of good reasons to not over function for the people you lead, and this might just be the most compelling of those reasons. When you do your people’s work, you’re not saving them…you’re stunting their growth.
In this episode, I’m going to go into the working at level principles in the sort of depth that I normally reserve for our Leadership Beyond the Theory cohorts.
I've also put together a great PDF resource to accompany this episode, 5 Rules for Leading Without Over-Functioning: A Leader’s Guide to Working at the Right Level which you can download here https://www.yourceomentor.com/episode351.
Enjoy!
