We need to move from the leader as hero, to the leader as host.
A real leader is not the top dog who merely shouts down orders. a leader is one who holds the space for the brilliance of others.
The growth and development of people is the highest calling of leadership.
The new leader is a facilitator, not an order giver.
I go to the lab and in order to interact with my postdoctoral students and try to see if I can shape them to not copy but to ask questions and to think. We have to have a little dialogue because you don't pretend to be the fountain of all wisdom.
Leading from behind doesn't work.
My approach to directing is to not do very much directing. I'm mainly interested in what the creative group individually and together are thinking.
