Leading One Who Wants to be Led vs. One Who Wants to be a Leader
There is a big difference the way you lead someone who wants to be led and how you lead someone who wants to be a leader.
It requires a different approach.
The person who wants to be led desires structure. They want to follow the rules. They need someone to tell them how to do what you want done. He or she needs specifics and details, not ambiguities. They stress more during times of uncertainty.
The person who wants to be a leader needs space to dream, freedom to explore, and permission to experiment. He or she desires less direction and more encouragement. They continually need new challenges. They get bored easily.
There is nothing wrong with either person. Most teams need both types of team members. Know your team.
Do you see the difference? Which are you? What would you add to my descriptions?
