At some point in your leadership career, you may find yourself leading someone who has significantly more experience than you. They may be older than you, have spent decades in your industry or possess technical knowledge that you don't have.
This can feel intimidating, especially when you believe that being the leader means you should have all the answers. However, leadership isn't necessarily about being the most experienced person in the room.
In this episode, I share practical ideas for leading experienced people, benefiting from their expertise and maintaining your own leadership authority.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why leading more experienced people is becoming increasingly common.
How asking for people's opinions can build trust and motivation.
Why experienced people may react badly when their expertise is ignored.
How experienced team members can help develop others.
Why you shouldn't defer to experienced employees on every decision.
How to clarify your decision-making process.
Why leadership skills can be valuable even when you have less technical experience.
How your access to senior leaders gives you organisational context that your team may not have.
