Have we been part of an ad-hoc team, a committee or worked on a group project? Have we at one point or another wondered if the team leader had any work to do? Have we often question if the boss has any “real work”?
Due to the many expectations from team members nowadays, I often observe that many new leaders are over-doing “leadership by example”. While “leadership by example” and “hands-on leadership” is something that helps build credibility and gains respect from team members, over-doing it could sometimes backfire.
