Delegation. It's one of the most common issues leaders and managers have. There are plenty of courses on the tips and techniques of delegation, and we know what we should do, but so many of us still struggle with it. We talk about how thinking and behaviour styles can get in your way when it comes to delegation and what you can do about it. Do you have a question about leadership or culture that we can help with?

How can you help a Passive team get momentum? In this episode, we give advice to a listener who is going around and around inside a Passive team. They go around in circles because no one wants to make a decision on how they should proceed forward with an idea. They lack a clear leader in the group, and after agreeing a process to move forward abandon it shortly after. When new ideas are suggested, their focus is more on why it won't work rather than why it will. Dominic Gourley, and Human Synergistics Consultants Corinne Canter and Liana Sangster share ideas to get passive teams going from their own experience and consulting.
