Practices of Leaders Who Create Organizations Filled with Competent, Confident Problem Solvers
As organizations move along their continuous improvement learning paths, leaders at all levels are asked to show up differently. Some struggle to make the shift from being knowers, tellers, and doers to becoming teachers and coaches who develop others.

Many are rewarded for those accomplishments by being promoted to higher leadership positions, often with responsibilities for which they might initially feel somewhat unprepared to do.
