    153. Are you a D.I.N.O. (delegator in name only)?

    153. Are you a D.I.N.O. (delegator in name only)?

    Send us a Text Message.
    What makes delegation one of the most challenging skills for new (and, if we're honest, experienced) leaders? 

    Why are we, as leaders, so reluctant to give up control, leading us to be D.I.N.O.s?

    It may not be what you think.  

    Using a few illustrative stories, Teri explores the difficulties associated with delegation and offers strategies you can try today to develop this skill that has the power to improve not only your team's efficiency, but also their (and your) wellbeing.

    What deserves a "why" in your leadership today?

    In this episode of Strong Leaders Serve, host Teri Schmidt explores the concept of intention in leadership through a thought-provoking story about a former corporate rockstar, Jill, and her post-illness career struggles. 

    Teri delves into the inertia that often keeps leaders and team members from challenging the status quo, emphasizing the importance of identifying and combatting unhelpful workplace patterns. 

    The episode challenges listeners to consider what they need to stop in order to create a more intentional and effective work environment. Join us as we navigate the complexities of leadership and intention, and uncover practical strategies to combat quiet-quitting and help your team thrive by replacing unhelpful workplace inertia with intention that helps individuals and teams thrive.
