When I began my role as a team leader when I was 23, I knew ‘what not to do more than what to do’ primarily because of the battles that I had had during my individual contributor stint. This transformation agenda helped me foresee what would potentially be a bottleneck for a team member and how I could remove those barriers for them and make them contribute easily. As leaders we should be able to break barriers and build bridges for our teams. This is one of the most profound leadership lessons for me and that has kept me in good stead.
