What should be the # 1 goal of any leader in a large organisation?
To grow business?
To earn market share?
To set up processes?
To design a great culture?
Nope.
👉 I think the # 1 priority of a leader in a large organisation is to make himself / herself *dispensable*.
Sounds counter-intuitive? Let me explain.
– You should create leaders and leaders-of-leaders.
– They should have so much ability / trust / empowerment / incentive that they can run the show on their own.
– Nothing should fall apart if you aren’t around for days or even months.
– The culture that you exemplify should also live beyond you.
Once you create a team of A+ leaders, business outcomes will happen.
👉 There’s a false sense of accomplishment and control when every job / every decision needs you, and you are the ‘go-to’ person for everything. That’s the mark of a bad leader who can’t coach / delegate / inspire.
âš¡ Work very hard towards making yourself dispensable.
