Great article.

Not overseeing a team is rather lazy, after all, a leader is paid to lead!

I'm all for empowerment, but there is a limit.

Thanks for the comment Wendy.

You wouldn’t believe how many leaders I work with who say their leadership style is to let other people do their job. And then they tell me they don’t understand why nobody is accountable.

I ran engagement surveys for an organization for over 11 years so managers saying it's not their job to coach, train, motivate or monitor their teams isn't new to me, lol!
