The debate about the best way to lead has been raging for years: Should you empower your people and get out of their way, or take charge and push them to do great work? The answer, say the authors, is to do both. Their research shows that effective leaders routinely shift between these two seemingly opposing modes—and build teams whose members are good at switching back and forth too. Sometimes teams need divergent thinking (during idea generation, for instance); at others, they need convergent thinking (to, say, make a decision and map out next steps). Leaders must be crystal clear about which mode is appropriate when. They have to make it psychologically safe for people to speak up, contribute, and argue, and when it’s time to end the discussion and act, signal that they’re taking charge again. There are four ways to increase the ability to shift modes: Question your assumptions about power and fixed hierarchies. Study your habits and your team’s to see if you’re stuck in one mode or the other. Set clear expectations with meeting agendas and rituals that mark transitions. And reinforce shifts with your own words, deeds, and body language. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In most corporate settings, leaders are expected to inspire and direct employees—leading is something they do to followers. But in professional service firms, the situation is different. These firms tend to be full of powerful, opinionated experts who prize their autonomy. They don’t easily accept the role of follower—and may be just as unwilling to act as leaders. A leader’s authority is contingent upon their consent, which can be quickly withdrawn. In this context, leadership has to be a collective, not an individual, endeavor. It requires a grasp of three key dynamics: Establishing legitimacy. To be accepted by their peers, leaders have to keep demonstrating an ability to generate revenue. Maneuvering politically. Achieving consensus requires social astuteness and networking skill, and peers must believe the leader is acting in their interests. Negotiating perpetually. To strike a balance between asserting control and giving peers autonomy, leaders must always negotiate. These dynamics are both in flux and interconnected, and leaders have to constantly manage them.

Leaders often view power as a purely personal quality, derived from their formal roles and titles, accreditations, skills, and experience; from the information they control and the reputation they’ve built; and from their charisma, resilience, and energy. But as most discover, effectively wielding power is rarely straightforward. Simply exercising control over others—the traditional concept of power—is often not the best strategy; it may not even be an option. Indeed, the most potent uses of power often involve no direct influence tactics at all. The authors have developed an approach to power that goes beyond exerting control and mobilizes others’ energy and commitment. It focuses on three core dimensions: Situational power rests on the ability to align objectives, the environment, and bases of power. Relational power is about connections and coalitions: They can be a major source of support, advice, information, and resources—but if neglected or ignored, they can loom as potential points of resistance. Dynamic power involves continually adapting influence strategies to changes in organizational and social systems. The degree to which leaders draw on all three dimensions of power determines how effectively they get things done. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Even in times of economic growth, it’s challenging to be a good boss. Research shows that people placed in positions of authority often become less mindful of others’ feelings and needs. Meanwhile, those in subordinate roles devote immense energy to watching and interpreting the actions of leaders. These tendencies make for a toxic tandem, which is only exacerbated during a crisis. Sutton, a Stanford professor, provides a useful framework to get bosses focused on what their people need from them most. In a situation where people feel threatened, a good boss finds ways to provide more predictability, understanding, control, and compassion. Predictability. Give people as much information as you can about what will happen to them and when. Preparation will reduce their suffering, and they can relax in the meantime—as Londoners during the blitz were able to do when the air-raid sirens were silent. Understanding. Accompany any major change with an explanation of why it’s necessary and how it will affect routines. Internal communication should be simple, concrete, and repetitive. Control. Don’t frame an obstacle as too big, too complex, or too difficult to overcome; people will be overwhelmed and freeze in their tracks. When it’s broken down into less- daunting components, they can tackle it with confidence. Compassion. Tend to the emotional needs of people who are let go, and help them preserve their dignity. This is essential both for them and for their colleagues who survive the cuts. Demeaning those who have left will demoralize those who remain and may drive the best of them to jump ship. A manager who provides all four remedies will be perceived as “having people’s backs” and will reap the rewards of employees’ deep loyalty for years to come.
