Umbrellas: Part of the Leadership Tool Kit – with Graham Ballantyne
Leadership Training Podcast
This conversation unpicks the term ‘umbrella leadership’ and why leaders might choose to use that approach.
We also discuss some of the dangers of using that style of leadership, and how to mitigate for those.
As someone who used the approach with mixed success, Graham talks about it with conviction. As with any ‘tool’, it’s about knowing why, when and where it can be useful. It’s also about being aware of the pitfalls so that you engage with the approach with your eyes wide open.
We explore some of the key components of effective leadership that should underpin:
- our approach to achieving the best experience for our teams
- achieving the most from our teams
- and our ability to maintain a healthy sense of balance in a role that we consciously create.
