Lead by Lagging

The traditional image of a leader is that of a person with mind on destination, vision beyond the horizon, feet on the ground building a path by walking it, and doggedly setting the pace.


But lagging is also a critical skill of leaders. Only through purposeful lagging can leaders identify those who are falling behind and why. Only by lagging can a helping hand be offered. Only by lagging can new leaders be given the space to learn to lead. 


Leaders unwilling to strategically lag are likely to leave critical talent unnecessarily at the side of the road.


All the Best!
