[0:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHt-pgda-jM) The Leadership vs. Follower Dilemma I think it's commonly kind of misinterpreted that when someone is in a leadership role or an executive role that they're actually not good listeners or good followers and that might be the case with many folks what happens is people get really intimidated around them and they don't offer up new ideas or suggestions but just speaking for myself I don't think I'm alone here I can play two roles I could be the general or I can be the soldier the general leads has a plan and the soldier executes the plan where I'm really uncomfortable in all this stuff is being a general Soldier and I find that a lot of especially uh younger types of people they like to make decisions together everything's a co-creation everything's a collaboration and there's a wonderful time and place for that but when we're ### [0:40](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHt-pgda-jM&t=40s) The Problem with Co-Creation & Groupthink launching new products and ideas I don't want it to be a group think series of compromises because no one's ever happy I mean there's a joke about this that a compromis is when no one's happy so when we're all talking about say marketing campaigns or creating new products or things like that if a group of us get together and design it together and try to figure it all out and I don't feel good they don't feel good I don't think anybody really wants this so I like Clarity and definition and clear boundaries oh you want to run this project you take ownership over it if you hit out of the ballpark great I'm here to support you tell me what my role is I will do everything I can to the best of my ability or you can say Chris what do you want to do and I want to say what I want to do and then I expect the same which is I'm going to fall in line I'm going to do exactly what you want to do to the best of my ability and I often find there's so much of this happening in Corporate America I think when we're trying to be inclusive where everybody ### [1:30](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHt-pgda-jM&t=90s) The Importance of Clear Roles in Leadership gets to have a word and everybody's an equal it's super messy I'll tell you something I don't know how to drive a speedboat so when I'm on that boat or on a Sailing Boat there's a captain tell me where to pull the Rope tell me what to do I'll scrub the deck I'm super happy and I'm okay with switching roles I found a long time ago when my wife and I were in a relationship Workshop they said that the family has usually like five roles and they created avatars the lion or something there's many different advert I don't remember any of that but what I do remember and really stuck with me is that every family has a ### [2:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHt-pgda-jM&t=120s) The Black Sheep: Innovation vs. Tradition black sheep and the black sheep is the saddest character the most misunderstood and hated character within the family the black sheep typically is the rebel the one who goes punk rock gets a tattoo and gets the earpiercing and seems to not do anything that the family thinks is good but the black sheep is a critical role to play Within the family because what they do is they bring new ideas so if you can think in ancient times if we're on an island and we think life has been good the black sheep says you know what the water source that we all survive in depend on it's drying up we should get off this island and go somewhere else and they're hated they're an outcast they're casting doubt on the tribe leader of the chief all that kind of stuff and they don't listen to this person but a few people go along with the black sheep and the black sheep leaves that island or the village and finds new more plentiful prosperous land and they have fruit that's abundant and then the old tribe dies that's a danger when we don't understand the role that we all play and what's unhealthy with families and with corporations and companies is when we don't share those roles when we don't move them around likewise the chief the head of the family winds up becoming the historian the person who preserves ideas cultures and Customs now the black sheep looks at ### [3:10](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHt-pgda-jM&t=190s) How Role-Sharing Fosters Growth & Empathy the chief saying you're oldfashioned you're out of touch we don't do things like that anymore but what they don't realize is they bring in corporate terminology institutional knowledge we do these things because this is how people don't die we learned that we don't eat these fruits we stay away from these animals and we treat this poisonous way and you get rid of that so what I'm trying to say here is whatever Dynamic that you're in whether you're the leader the general or the soldier the person who gets the stuff done is to have a healthy relationship what we do is we trade roles and responsibilities but we don't merge them together because that's where it gets really messy now it might seem like someone who's so strongly opinionated like myself that I don't want to follow and in fact I really do when I know someone's in charge and I think we're all like this to a degree we like to default to like just take care of me you got it so when I'm in a new town at a new restaurant and somebody is local I just let them order don't even ask me I put my entire faith and my health in your hands you know what you're doing I always find that like confusing why someone who's never been to a town restaurant who's never eaten this type of food says well I'd like the won suit please and what they do is they go with the familiar and not what the person who's there would recommend and it's a weird thing but I see it happening a lot if you find yourself in a situation like that make sure you stop check in with yourself like what am I doing here I clearly don't want to lead but I'm not letting the leader lead and it's super frustrating I'm a good ### [4:35](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHt-pgda-jM&t=275s) Micromanagement & The Frustration of Mixed Signals soldier but what I don't like to do is someone to tell me hey I want you to follow my directions and then ask me what would you like to do what and let me put it in real terms okay this is a relationship thing that I struggle with sometimes my wife will often ask me hey I need you to fix the computer I'm like okay what's the problem she'll tell me and say okay let me work through it but she doesn't leave she's not there to learn she's like uh you want to try this like okay and what if we click on that at a certain point I went myself and the reason being is if you knew how to fix it why don't you fix it if you want me to fix it let me fix it something I learned from my mentor got rest Soul K McLaren he would say something like you can tell me what you want how to do but you can't tell me both and that kind of summarizes like my whole feeling about it like allow me the autonomy to figure it out where you lead and I'll just follow what you do that's why we wind up in some situations ### [5:25](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHt-pgda-jM&t=325s) Outro that makes me feel really uncomfortable so here's a quick summary for this in case you're lost in the SAU here if you will is number one just to respect that within complex Dynamics with a family or within a business Everybody Plays a really important role to know what those roles are and then from time to time share the roles helps us with empathy helps us allow one another to grow in our own personal development and if you can do that that's really great the last thing just for me I don't know if it works for you is when you have a clearly defined role let the person do what it is that you gave them the opportunity to do versus them trying to micromanage every single part of it --- *Источник:
