Managing means directing. Leading frees up those you oversee to perform to their highest ability (and frees you up to stop “managing” them). In the long run, leading employees is less stressful and more effective than “managing” them.
The Leading EDGE refers so a model for great leadership. EDGE is an acronym for each of the four basic components of the model. The beauty of this model lies in the fact that it is so simple and easy to incorporate with a bit of forethought. Here it is:
E – Explain
D – Demonstrate
G – Guide
E – Empower
After explaining what needs to be done, demonstrate how it is to be done. Then, let them do it as you guide. This process teaches and instills confidence. Then, provide resources and authority to the individual to go forward applying what they have learned, this is empowerment. Explain, Demonstrate, Guide, Empower. Simple. Effective. Try it today. (Or, if you’ve got a boss who needs this advice, forward this to them!)
