The three roles that every good leader must play

摘要

How do you know if somebody's a good leader? How do you know if you 're a good leader? There are many ways to answer these questions. But here's a useful one: Good leaders are aware of three basic leadership roles, and play them effectively: framer, interpreter and enabler. Here's what these three roles mean. You may want to check yourself to see how you - and your organization's line managers - are doing with them. Good leaders clearly set a framework of acceptable behavior. This is not because they like to dictate people's conduct. Rather, the leader knows that when people follow the framework, their chances of success in that workplace improve. And a good leader wants his or her people to succeed.
