Leadership Hack: Stop Managing People — Start Leading Them
James, a department head at a logistics firm, was struggling.
His team was capable — yet performance kept slipping.
He realised he was spending more time checking than coaching.
When he completed VH Courses’ Leadership & Management Training, one principle changed everything:
“If you want better results, trust your people to find better ways.”
He replaced daily check-ins with weekly strategy reviews. He asked questions instead of giving orders.
Within a month, morale soared — and productivity rose by 38%.
💡 Today’s Tip:
-
Focus on goals, not guilt. If you hired smart people, let them show you how smart they are.
-
Replace instructions with inquiry. Ask, “What’s your approach?” instead of “Did you do this yet?”
-
Reward solutions, not silence. Encourage ownership and new ideas.
