Leaders are often labeled as the barrier to high performance in teams. The irony is  leaders need the very psychological safety we want them to create in their teams to foster strong leadership practices. The skills and abilities required to meet performance expectations, engage with their teams, and earn the trust necessary for high performance are not provided by the promotion. They need to be established, implemented, and revisited to ensure your leader is setup for success. In this episode, Shelly focuses on how organizations need to better support their leaders in the workplace.  She explores the value of organizations stepping back and considering the need to empower leaders by offering safe spaces for them to grow, learn, and develop their authentic practice.  Photo by <a href='https://unsplash.com/@tomparkes?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText'>Tom Parkes</a> on <a href='https://unsplash.com/photos/Ns-BIiW_cNU?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText'>Unsplash</a>Thanks for listening!
