I recently led a project where I ended up doing most of the work myself because I was unsure if others would deliver on time. The project was successful, but I felt exhausted and know it's not sustainable. How can I develop more trust in my team while maintaining accountability?

Ans: Hi!!

A leader is one who leads, rt?
So your biggest role as a leader is to get the job done from others. Good that you have realized that the model where you do most of the work is not sustainable. So delegate work to individuals based on their capabilities, check in on them at regular intervals . Learn the art of the leadership model where you apply different strokes to different people and different times. Identify your own natural leadership style and adopt the right style of leadership based on the kind of team members you have and the task on hand.
Conduct workshops or get your personnel trained on what it means to be a trustworthy team member and how important it is to be accountable in the greater interest of the team. If need be you too enroll yourself in a leadership program. As a corporate trainer myself I can assure you that every skill can be learnt and developed.

Be an inspiring leader and then see how your team will measure up to standard you set for them. I always believe that the team is as good as the boss..... all the very best in leading your team !!
