Make everyone in your team think and act like a leader

During a live Ask-Me-Anything session, as part of the latest edition of our Crusaders Leadership Programme™, Robbie Deans shared a fresh leadership lesson… Robbie has coached some total rugby legends; people like Richie McCaw, Dan Carter and Kieran Read. Robbie’s job, especially early in a player’s career, is to show he believes in them — often even more than they believe in themselves. “We can often see that guys have the capacity to push on. But they don't necessarily see it themselves because they're going into a level they've never played at before. Talk about the things that you want. Talk about the things they're capable of. And leave some space for them to surprise you… because they do.” When it comes to selection, leaving space for people to surprise you means Robbie’s always looking for multiple perspectives. That way no one gets pigeonholed by one person’s perspective. Try this yourself: 🤔 Choose one of the people you lead, what have you discussed with them about where they could go? 🚀Is there an opportunity for you to raise your aspiration for that person? How so? Let us know how you get on in the comments.
