Lynn, Rotating responsibilities is a great way to keep people engaged and productive, while also building and diversifying their skill level. One of my favorite books is called “Flight of the Buffalo.” The book compares the leadership strategies of Buffalo and Geese. Buffalo herds have one leader and when the herd is in danger the buffalos surround the leader. Unfortunately, if the leader gets killed, the herd scatters and is decimated because none of the other buffalo were ever trained to be the leader. Geese fly in a V formation. Every goose is taught how to be at the front of the V and lead the flock. If the leader is hurt, injured, or tired, another goose takes the lead role. Organizations are very similar. The best managers and leaders should always be “training their replacement” as opposed to guarding information. Those are the teams that people want to be involoved with. Dr. Jamie Morley
