There’s a solid correlation between how much a person feels they have skin in the game and how much effort, energy, care, and attention they put into the work at hand.
Then, as a leader, is it your responsibility to simply tell people what needs to be done, perhaps with a detailed job description and checklist? Or is a leader’s responsibility to make someone feel like they’re part of something?
Two totally different leadership models.
Sometimes they might even get the same results, depending on the goal.
But one is pretty damn obviously more fulfilling for those being led.
