ALLOWING FOR CREATIVITY ON TEAMS

Had to pass this article along to you. Ordinarily I steer far away from sports analogies but I received this from a friend who recently completed the Kona Ironman (a lawyer in his off time). He thought it was a great read for HR and team professionals. I quite agree. It is a very good description of when a leader allows someone to use his instincts and creativity…to color outside the lines. But this is all in the context of much disciplined study and practice and clear parameters. Even though I vaguely understood all the technical football stuff I got the point.
