Hands-off leadership is lazy leadership
My perspective is that hands-off leadership is lazy leadership. And that is because some ~60% of our leaders have never received leadership training. We promote based on technical skills and we don’t provide leaders with the tools necessary to lead. Therefore, leaders tend to focus solely on task management and they are “hands off” with the people management aspect. And this makes sense! There’s a natural tendency to want to “get out of the way” because it’s the easy thing to do.
