If Your Teams Work in Silos, They Are Run By Managers Not Leaders

We all want collaboration between teams so we can get the best results.

But if you teams are run by managers, not leaders, collaboration will be difficult.

The Manager Mindset is about control and making sure everyone is doing things correctly.

The Leader Mindset is about empowerment and effectiveness.

A great leader knows that their team is more effective when working with other functions/disciplines to develop solutions rather than just to deliver work.

So leaders look outwards as well as inwards.

It’s not just about doing the work but about facilitating the path of that work so it makes a difference to the business.

If you have a leadership team staffed by managers, you’ll have a problem with silos and you’ll end up having to spend your time getting them to work together.

And you don’t have time or headspace for that – it’s not your job.

I wonder if your team leaders know the difference between management and leadership, why it’s important and how that needs to change behaviour so that work makes a difference to the bottom line.

Yes, we need managers – but they are not leaders and without leaders, we do the work but can’t get the best use from it.

BOTTOM LINE?

Develop their leadership skills and reap the benefits in progressing the business.
