#1: INTRODUCE POWER AND
RESPONSIBILITY SENSIBLY

§ Self-organization isn‘t for everybody.
§ Help! The fact that you're not by default
the best leader, also applies to your
employees. They're also not
immediately agile.
§ Step by step. People will be skeptical.

means you did a awesome job.

FROM MANAGEMENT TO
LEADERSHIP
28
§ A good manager isn‘t necessarily a
good leader.
§ Your influence will be indirect, but no
less important!
§ If you define yourself on the status, you
will probably have a problem.
§ Leadership doesn‘t substitue
management.
