#leadershipdevelopment - Have you ever had to work for an indecisive boss?

Someone who hated taking #decisions. Someone who didn't like being "put on the spot" and asked for a straight answer. How did you work with them?

2/ I had someone like that early on in my #career and by making me think & act differently, they actually made me a better #leader! Here's what I did ..

✓ Present them with options (Rather than going to them with just a "Can I do this? Yes/No" Present them with at least 2/3 varied options on how best you want to proceed. Be prepared for a #conversation, weighing the pros/cons for each)

✓ Share your thought #process (By sharing how you've visualized the problem/opportunity/solution it allows them to feel more confident of your inputs, builds #trust, and makes for easier delegation. Isn't that the final goal?)

5/

✓ Allow them to think of it as a collective decision (Indecision is primarily due to inbuilt insecurities. Perhaps they had an indecisive #boss? By allowing the "credit" to go to the #team, they'll stop viewing you as a threat & more as potential #leadership material)
