Strong Leaders Serve with Teri Schmidt
The leadership podcast for people who are in leadership not for the status and power, but instead to use that status and power to turn potential into performance for positive change.
Hosted by Teri Schmidt, Leadership Coach & CEO of Strong Leaders Serve.
Each week we focus on supporting leaders who are dealing with the overwhelming realities of transitioning into and operating in roles where their success isn't just defined by their performance, but by the performance of their team.
Roles where they are responsible for building trust, promoting psychological safety, conflict management, taking care of their team member's wellbeing, motivating other humans, and managing up, all while trying to GET THINGS DONE.
Through solo episodes with focused and relevant leadership tips and inspirational interviews with seasoned leaders and experts, we help leaders get past their overwhelm to careers of courageous impact.
Listeners hone their skills in making their workplaces more compassionate and just through their leadership.
Strong Leaders Serve with Teri Schmidt
153. Are you a D.I.N.O. (delegator in name only)?
What makes delegation one of the most challenging skills for new (and, if we're honest, experienced) leaders?
Why are we, as leaders, so reluctant to give up control, leading us to be D.I.N.O.s?
It may not be what you think.
Using a few illustrative stories, Teri explores the difficulties associated with delegation and offers strategies you can try today to develop this skill that has the power to improve not only your team's efficiency, but also their (and your) wellbeing.
