One of the key goals of effective leadership is to enable others to act independently once they understand the vision and goals of the leader. The process of enabling independence requires the leader to move from telling “followers” exactly what to do in order to achieve the goal, to a process where “followers” make their own decisions on how to achieve the vision and goal that the leader has articulated. In other words leaders should ultimately move toward managing the outcome versus “micro-managing” the process used to achieve the outcome.
