Due to the leverage leaders can harness through technology and managerial practices like shared consciousness and empowered execution, senior leaders are now more important than ever, but the role is very different from that of the traditional heroic decision maker.

The practice of relaying decisions up and down the chain of command is premised on the assumption that the organization has the time to do so, or, more accurately, that the cost of the delay is less than the cost of the errors produced by removing a supervisor.

I communicated across the command my thought process on decisions like airstrikes, and told them to make the call. Whoever made the decision, I was always ultimately responsible, and more often than not those below me reached the same conclusion I would have, but this way our team was empowered to do what was needed.

The wait for my approval was not resulting in any better decisions, and our priority should be reaching the best possible decision that could be made in a time frame that allowed it to be relevant.

We had built an outstanding team bound together by the oneness of trust and purpose and capable of devising, in real time, brilliant, emerging solutions to complex problems, but we still required every player to get written permission from the coach before passing the ball.

About this Blog

It’s great to welcome you on my blog, where you find a variety of interesting articles, videos, quotes, and images on leadership, mostly in a business context. Look at it as my personal, growing collection that I like to share.

I am the head of operations and a member of the executive management of an SME located in Switzerland, an alumnus of  the Open University (BA in Leadership and Management), and a conscript deputy batallion commander / chief of staff (OF-3) in the Swiss Armed Forces. During the past ten plus years, I have been leading people in different situations and organisations, ranging from small teams to large business and military units in the private sector as well as in peacekeeping missions abroad. Despite the variety, all these situations have one thing in common: the special feeling of accomplishment when a bunch of different people achieves a common goal thanks to skill, commitment, companionship, and… good leadership.
