Episode 122: Your Reports Are Leaders Now

You got promoted because you were the best doer in the room. Now your reports are leaders, and managing them like contributors is the fastest way to stall your own rise. Maya and Marcus combine Liz Wiseman’s Multiplier disciplines with US Navy Captain David Marquet’s intent-based leadership: multiply your leaders by giving them control, and certify their judgment instead of replacing it with yours. Four steps close it out: audit your decisions, hand over a real one, ask instead of telling, and invest publicly. This show is written and produced by Joe Dutkiewicz of Crayon Leadership. Joe equips mid-senior leaders to think and act two levels up, so they’re recognizable to top leaders and ready for the promotion before it opens. Find Joe on LinkedIn, X, YouTube, Facebook, and at the Crayon Leadership website. Maya and Marcus are AI voices, created with text-to-speech.
