“My bosses never presumed to know better than I did about what I needed in order to do my job.”
Is that a scenario you can imagine, or does that sound like something out of a fantasy?
In your role as boss, do you tend to think you know more than those you lead about what will make them successful? In your role as employee, has your boss ever trusted you in that way?
That opening line is actually a quote from actress Michelle Williams, in her speech accepting the Emmy for best actress in a limited series or TV movie, for her role as the Broadway dancer and actress Gwen Verdon in FX’s “Fosse/Verdon.”
That quote, and her entire speech, gives us a great description and demonstration of leading in the age of personalization.
